Rich Trenchard knows a good headline needs substance underneath. An NCTJ-qualified journalist and former assistant sports editor, he spent 17 years in Express Newspapers’ magazine department, working on titles including Saturday and HotTV. Alongside more than a decade of iGaming writing, that background brings together newsroom experience and a close eye for the details behind gambling offers.

For Mr. Gamble’s UK readers, Rich contributed to betting-site comparisons and guides covering free bets, bet builders, payment methods and low-deposit options. His work explored what these features mean in practice — from how a promotion works to the details worth checking before choosing a bookmaker.
