Chris Harby to leave Sleaford Standard Sport for freelance challenge

One of many highlights of a very happy time with the Melton Times - receiving my first gong at the Regional Press Awards EMN-200317-134920002

Chris has worked as sports editor of the Melton Times, in Leicestershire, for 14-and-a-half years, and began working on sister titles, the Louth Leader and Market Rasen Mail in 2015.

He then added the Standard to the list at the start of 2017, returning to the paper where he started his career in journalism as a trainee in 2000.

He will now explore options as a freelance journalist.

“While working remotely from my Lincolnshire titles has not been easy at times, I’ve enjoyed covering Sleaford once again,” Chris said.

“I’d like to thank everyone who has helped me during my time working at the Standard, and I wish everyone the best of luck.”
