Ryan Giggs becomes Telegraph football columnist

The Telegraph has signed Ryan Giggs as an expert columnist to bring his unique insight to its football coverage.

Ryan Giggs will be writing regular columns, with his first published on the Telegraph website last Friday and in last Saturday’s Daily Telegraph.

Giggs is one of the greatest football players of all-time, and spent 29 years at Manchester United, playing in the first team for 23 years before joining the management team under David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal. At international level, he played for Wales 64 times, says the publisher.

Giggs said: “I’m delighted to be joining the Telegraph and look forward to sharing my views and analysis with their readers. I am an admirer of the Telegraph's football coverage and their excellent team of writers. I hope to add my own insights through my experiences as a player and as an assistant manager at Manchester United. It promises to be a fascinating season in the Premier League, in Europe, and for Wales and England and I will enjoy sharing my thoughts through the column."

Adam Sills, Head of Sport at the Telegraph Media Group, said: “Ryan Giggs is one of the best players Britain has ever produced, and he joins The Telegraph with an incredible amount of experience playing at the highest level. His unrivalled success at Manchester United makes him one of the game's most respected figures and I’m sure our readers will enjoy his exclusive insights. I’m thrilled he’s joining The Telegraph and our unbeatable team of writers and reporters."
