Texi is a football fiction writer, reporter, and photographer with The Roar. 

He is also an active supporter of the Matildas, the Socceroos, and Sydney FC and a lifelong fan of Newcastle United, having grown up in the northeast of England. He still plays in an Over 45s competition, referees in a local league, and has previously coached.

Away from football, Texi has an IT consultancy and is a member of the Bridge Club - a group of runners who have run ten or more Sydney Marathons.
