Jon Couch

Jon is The NLP’s Executive Editor, a role he has held for almost a decade in a stellar journalistic career spanning 31 years.

‘Couchie’, as he is affectionately known, has actually been on board with The NLP almost from the beginning, covering the likes of Aldershot Town and Farnborough Town as a freelance reporter.

During that time, Jon was Sports Editor of the award-winning News & Mail series for 12 years, over two separate stints, having initially learned his trade as a news reporter.

Jon was Sports Editor of London business title CityAM for four years from 2006 and has also undertaken a number of freelance roles over the years, serving the likes of the Sunday Times, iPaper and Reading Post as well as Golf Monthly and Zoo magazines.

Non-League football, though, is in Jon’s blood with his musings often heard on talkSPORT radio and The Non-League Football Show podcast.

Jon is also Executive Editor of sister titles, The Cricket Paper and Racing Ahead magazine.
