Background

About James Orourke

I currently work as a Championship Research Analyst/Football Performance Analyst at Paradine. I conduct research throughout the week to collect qualitative information to complete match previews for every single game. The review side consists of data collection for qualitative analysis using an in-house coding system. This can be for any football game from around the world. I came into this role shortly after graduating from The University of Hull after studying BSc Sports Coaching & Performance. This gave me extra desire in wanting to gain a career within sport. My main aspiration is to work within a professional football club doing performance analysis or coaching. I have experience of coaching children both in school and with local sports clubs. I have gathered various qualifications and I am eager to add more to my portfolio. In September 2018 I began writing betting previews for the popular and successful We Love Betting; a winner in the 2018 Football Blogging Awards. After making a positive initial impression on the site, this led to me then contributing to other sites, such as The Punters Page, The72 and Eastbridge. I would then advance this by producing content as a Preview Writer, covering a variety of leagues and competitions across the world, for Live Sport on their FlashScores website, which receives millions of hits every year either through their site or successful mobile app. I recently started producing betting previews for Mr Fixit Tips (https://mrfixitstips.co.uk). I conduct my own research and nominate recommended betting selections.
