Huddersfield Town in Austria

Reporting at Huddersfield v VfB Stuttgart in Schwaz

I've been in the Austrian Alps this week reporting on Huddersfield Town's training camp as they prepare for their first season in the Premier League.
On Monday we were at their training session in Brixen im Tal at the village football ground where Huddersfield were training. A stunning setting to play football!

Then on Tuesday night we travelled to Schwaz to cover Huddersfield's pre-season friendly against Bundersliga side VfB Stuttgart...

Reporting from Austria was a great experience but believe me it was hard work in 30-plus degree heat! It was a pleasure to see Huddersfield prepare for the Premier League and spend time with their fans who'd made the near thousand mile journey to the beautiful Austrian Alps.

Swift Cousins

For months I've been trying to arrange doing a story on Yorkshire professional cyclists Ben and Connor Swift who are cousins. With Ben's back from the Tour de France and before Connor headed to France to race I got them together for an interview and a ride in Rotherham. As a huge cycling fan, reporting on stories like this is the next best thing to being a professional cyclist!

Diving

I've been reporting on Yorkshire divers winning medals at the World Aquatics Championships in Budapest. This is a good example of having to rely on footage from elsewhere to put together a report. I had access to the broadcast of the Championships (which was on the BBC red button) and thankfully BBC Sport had gathered some good interviews with the divers which I also made use of.
