I started studying Italian at the age of 15 at my secondary school and was so inspired by the language that I decided to study it at university. I spent the first half of my Erasmus year (2009/10) studying in Padua and the second half living with Italians in Malaga which is when I really became fluent. Below are some of the notable translation jobs that I have performed using Italian in the football world.
