Derek is Paul Newton's right hand man, although Paul will tell you that statement falls apart when they get to the pub.

As the tireless reporter dogging the footsteps of Carlisle United they try to reclaim their league status, Derek travels the country to bring you all the nail-biting action of the game.

Derek has a love of most sports, but his regular racing tips show his expertise is limited when it comes to the horses. That, or he's keeping the odds long!

Derek is also a closet connoisseur of fine-foods, “I can track a good curry down from at least three miles.”
