Press Officers from our Football Journalism course hosted a press conference this week with guests Nigel Clough, manager of Mansfield Town Football Club, along with players from the club.

Captain Ollie Clarke and his teammates were put in the hot seat to answer questions around their promotion campaign, mood in the camp ahead of the next game and what appealed to them to sign to the club.

Our teaching team for Football Journalism have a great relationship with Nigel Clough, who answered questions around his football and managerial career, how the game has changed since his days as a player and the impact of social media on sports people.

The students captured content for their YouTube channel and social accounts - an inspirational event for everyone involved.
