National Sports Editor Duncan Wright appointed Head of Sport at KICCA.com

An experienced and highly respected national sports writer and editor, Duncan has for the past 18 months been in charge of the digital sports departments of both the Daily Express and Star, a period of time that saw a 300% increase in page views across sport on both titles.

KICCA.com, the social media platform dedicated to sports stars and fans with exclusive comment, photos and films, launched late last year.

With over 330 established sports stars on board and 60 of the country’s leading media figures, KICCA is fast becoming the go to place for sport on social media.

Duncan will be responsible for the day to day driving of all content on the platform.

Ian Stafford, KICCA.com’s Editor in Chief, said: “I am delighted to welcome Duncan on board. He will be a valuable addition to a team across all departments that grows from strength to strength. His experience, nose for news and all-round multi-media skills will prove to be a major asset to a fast-expanding business.”

Duncan Wright added: “Sport is a huge driving force for social and editorial in the digital world, and KICCA are taking things to the next level with their platform. It’s a hugely exciting time to come on board and I hope to help drive through the development which will allow the social engagement and content both sports stars and users want.”
