Biography
Hello! I am currently the American football editor of the Sports Gazette. Alongside leading editorial meetings for the magazine, I write weekly articles on multiple different sporting topics, and also co-host a podcast. So far, I have established my weekly NFL column 'Ricky's Round-Up' where I rank and evaluate all the action from the NFL Week One all the way up to the Super Bowl (now on hiatus as we are in the off-season). I have also written several pieces concerning American football that are out of the season's scope. In addition, you can find me covering all things rugby union as co-host of the Sports Gazette's rugby podcast 'Maul from Grace.' Currently covering all things Women's Six Nations, we have had the pleasure of speaking with the likes of Brian Moore and Jessica Hayden. I am also a Communications Executive intern at the Championship Rugby club Ealing Trailfinders, where I perform a variety of roles such as writing for the quarterly magazine, match reports, live tweeting, live broadcasting on match day, as well as controlling match day visuals and dealing with press. I have also freelanced with The Rugby Paper and the Ealing Times American football and rugby union are my main coverage areas, but you can also find me covering rugby league, particularly London Broncos in the Super League. Football may be covered from time to time, but not on a regular basis.

There had been questions over the selection of the home of Leeds Rhinos as the decider, with the ground only holding 19,700 fans. However, the ground is ‘steeped in history’ when concerning the Ashes, having first hosted a test in the historic series in 1921.
By Ricky Westaby Verified| tbrrugby.com@ The South Sydney Rabbitohs are consistently learning about the new rising talents in their ranks, partially due to significant injuries, and some down to luck. There is only so much luck before it can be put down to hard work, skill and most importantly, making the most of opportunities when given to them, in this case by Wayne Bennett. Superstar fullback Latrell Mitchell being ruled out with a long-term hamstring injury has seen the rise of Jye Gray in his place, sublime in attack and defence.
Why Salford Red Devils are playing with fire by appealing Joe Shorrocks' disciplinary charge ahead of Hull KR trip
By Ricky Westaby Verified| tbrrugbyleague.com@ The Salford Red Devils have chosen to appeal the two-match ban handed to Joe Shorrocks in the loss to Leeds Rhinos last weekend, which could prove costly. The RFL issued 10 Super League players with disciplinary charges after Round 2, with Shorrocks the first to be banned this season. Shorrocks’ high tackle on Brodie Croft saw the Leeds Rhinos half-back removed from the field, who then failed his Head Injury Assessment.
