What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to legal and commercial operations in football, supporting contracts, player transfers, regulatory compliance, sponsorships, and international football business while continuing to grow in the industry.

I've supported the legal teams at SuperSport International and SuperSport United FC, drafting and reviewing content licensing, on-air talent, sponsorship, player transfer, academy player, and club personnel agreements.

At SuperSport United, I provided legal research and bundle preparation for a Premier Soccer League arbitration matter, supported the Honor Technologies sponsorship deal, and assisted with Umbro partnership renewal terms. At SuperSport International, I drafted content licensing agreements with the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation and supported contracts for AFCON, SA20 Cricket, and major football and rugby properties.

I combine a BCom, LLB, practical vocational training, and a Professional Master's in Football Business from The Football Business Academy. My work spans FIFA RSTP and PSL compliance, intellectual property, commercial risk assessment, and SOP design for football operations.
