I am absolutely over the moon to welcome @mlsist.bsky.social, @jeffrueter.bsky.social, and @ellabrockway.bsky.social to the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/guardian-us-...

theguardian.comThe Guardian expands its sports desk with key hires before 2026 World Cup in North AmericaThe new permanent roles are part of the Guardian’s larger investment in the US, which has come to include more than 20 additional journalists in the past year

Two additional things: 1) I've gotten Qs on how one can show $$ support for this expansion (This is humbling to hear). At the bottom of the press release or Pablo/Ella/Jeff's intro pieces there should be a popup asking you to donate. Use that. We remain paywall-free but being a supporter has perks.

2) I said this in the release but I'll reiterate here: I am so unbelievably lucky to do this work at all, but especially at a place that values the American audience for soccer, appreciates its uniqueness, and thinks it's worthy of great journalism. '26+'27+'28 is a huge stretch and I can't wait.
