Boro fan lands dream job at the club

Sport Journalism graduate Danny Nicholson has been appointed media and marketing officer for Middlesbrough Football Club’s Women’s Team, just weeks after completing his degree at Teesside University.

Danny, 23, from Norton, graduated this summer with a BA (Hons) Sport Journalism and now manages the team’s social media accounts and creates match day content.

During his studies, he covered the International Quizzing Championships on the Costa del Sol and worked as a Planet Forward correspondent, presenting at the organisation’s summit in Washington DC.

Danny said: “I’m so happy to have graduated with the first-class degree I wanted and excited to get out there into the world of work. 

“But I also can’t believe my time at university has come to an end.  

“I made so many memories and friends during my studies, and the lecturers believed in us and helped us flourish. 

“They pushed me to be the best I could be. 

“I now work as a media and marketing officer for Middlesbrough Football Club, which is a dream role for me coming straight out of university.” 

He added: “If you told me in my first year that I would go to America three times and be a panellist on stage at a summit, I would never have believed you. 

“Becoming a Planet Forward correspondent did more for me than I could have ever thought. 

“It helped me grow as a journalist, as a video creator and as a podcaster. 

“Teesside University gave me opportunities I could never have dreamed of.”
