Ciaran McCarthy
TEAMtalk Journalist
I am a journalist and news writer, covering Premier League and worldwide transfer news, as well as writing features.
I corroborate any news with a team of transfer correspondents to ensure maximum accuracy, and bounce feature ideas off of other writers, to ensure the best experience for the reader.
I began as a freelancer at Planet Sport in 2021 – not long after graduating from Leeds Trinity University – on my first of three football sites, TEAMtalk. I then also joined the Football365 team a couple of years later, and added Planet Football to my remit in early 2025.
About
You might notice me slip in references to my club, Doncaster Rovers, in any pieces in which they are relevant. I was in attendance to watch the Rovers lift the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy in 2007 and the League One play-off trophy in 2008.
Elsewhere, I have interviewed England cricket stars past and present, including Jonathan Trott, Liam Livingstone and Will Jacks, as well as a number of other professional cricketers.
