CaughtOffside has been a specialist transfer news service since 2006, providing exclusive news, expert analysis on the transfer market, insight, and unparalleled coverage of the most important talking points in football.
Our writers strive to add depth and colour to conventional commentary, structuring their narratives and animating details in order to lubricate the delivery of their exclusive news stories; double sourcing every exclusive news story and adding important context to other stories emerging in the market.
Our photographers don’t just support our reporting with pictures that confirm our writers’ tales, but reveal new insight from each image captured, seeking to complement and then expand on the written word.
Our video creators take the very concept of football journalism to a whole new paradigm, offering an interpretation of the news that’s more akin to art – devoted to delivering important information in visceral video memes that surprise, delight and inform audiences.
Our unique approach combines exclusive news, insight and opinion from the leading transfer news experts, the best football reporting talent, former players and referees with the interpretive skills of the next generation of digitally native news creators, who transcend the dichotomy between delivering thoughtful, essential material and cultural sensationalism on digital and social platforms.
Founded in 2006 by Chris Toy, CaughtOffside was acquired by Ingenious Media backed Sport Buzz in 2007 and then sold to fanatix in 2009, which is now part of Rocket Sports Internet, an active investor in high quality journalists and news creators.
