Biography

Toby Reynolds is a dynamic sports journalist, broadcaster, and commentator known for blending compelling storytelling with sharp data-driven analysis. With a wealth of experience across writing, radio, and live commentary, he brings energy and insight to every platform. Currently, Toby is a freelance writer and broadcaster, most recently covering the Women’s Ashes in Australia for Guerilla Cricket. Many of his pieces focus on overlooked stories, offering fresh perspectives and insightful analysis. His work regularly appears in The Cricket Paper, where he combines player interviews with unique angles on the modern game. Toby has also built a strong foundation in digital journalism, having worked as a sports writer for GRV Media, where he produced search engine-optimized cricket articles to enhance online reach. As the Cricket Editor at The Sports Gazette, he led editorial meetings, shaped content strategy, and wrote compelling articles covering both domestic and international cricket, as well as other major sporting topics. Having studied economics at the University of Nottingham, he honed his ability to dissect complex data, even writing his dissertation on the impact of salary caps on competitive balance in rugby union. This analytical approach sets his work apart, as he uses data to reveal hidden narratives within the sport. In addition to his writing, Toby has established himself as a prominent voice in sports broadcasting. As a commentator for Durham, Gloucestershire and Essex, he delivers both play-by-play coverage and expert analysis, ensuring that his commentary is both engaging and informative. His broadcasting style balances passion and analytical depth, allowing audiences to not only experience the excitement of the moment but also gain a deeper understanding of the game. His work in podcasting and radio further demonstrates his versatility. Toby has hosted and produced over 250 live radio shows and podcasts, including "Pitchside with Toby Reynolds," which explores diverse sporting topics with expert guests. It recently won Bronze in the 2025 Sports Podcast Awards for Best Sports Documentary. His previous show, "Sticky Wicket," gained significant recognition, featuring an Ashes mini-series with Monty Panesar and earning a nomination for Best Sports Programming at the Student Radio Awards. Through these platforms, Toby has refined his skills in interviewing elite athletes, providing thoughtful commentary, and fostering insightful discussions on the biggest issues in sports. Toby’s experience covering major events includes reporting on the Women's Ashes in Australia for Guerilla Cricket – a challenge that required creative storytelling as England struggled in the series. Despite this, witnessing over 35,000 fans attend the Test match at the MCG reinforced the growing appeal of women’s cricket. During the tour, he also interviewed England batter Sophia Dunkley, offering readers a rare insight into her journey after being recalled to the national side. Beyond traditional journalism, Toby has also been deeply involved in social media content creation. His tenure as an editorial assistant at Two Circles saw him produce engaging digital content for The Hundred and manage the One Day Cup’s media presence, ensuring fans stayed connected to the action. Similarly, as Head of Online Content at University Radio Nottingham, he spearheaded social media campaigns that significantly increased engagement and listenership. From commentary boxes to online columns, Toby focuses on telling stories that resonate with fans and add something meaningful to the conversation.
