I am the joint sports team lead for the Press and Journal/Evening Express. A Union Grove-dweller, who was Danestone-raised by a Mastrick dad and Kincorth mum, I'm an Aberdonian through and through - although I spent a year at Cardiff University studying newspaper journalism.
You'll find my articles below, while I also host the Northern Goal podcast and the Highland League Weekly web show. Follow me on Twitter @RyanCryle
