Joel Martelli

The only thing that Joel Martelli loves more than football (seriously, we wouldn’t be surprised if he has a Wollongong Wolves tattoo) is writing about all things sports. With a Bachelor of Communications and Media Studies Degree specialising in Journalism, he spends his days uncovering breaking athlete news stories and diving deep into play-by-play strategies. We’re glad that he’s put his passion to the pages of Only Sports as one of our dedicated sports writers.
