Tom Worville is the Head of Football at Prospect, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge from across the field of football data. Tom oversees the development of the football side of Prospect’s business; from the design and development of internal models to delivering work to clients.
Prior to joining Prospect, Tom worked as a data scientist in RB Leipzig’s scouting department. He designed and implemented data scouting processes which were used both at the German club and across others in the Red Bull group. Tom supported the club across three transfer windows, a period which saw Leipzig win back-to-back DFB Pokal trophies, the first major honours in the club’s history.
Tom has also worked for The Athletic, becoming their first football analytics writer in 2020. Tom contributed his words, charts and numbers to articles, podcasts and videos covering everything from football tactics, assessing transfers and digging into the finer details of the beautiful game. His work was recognised by the Press Awards in 2020, where he was the runner-up in the Data Journalist of the Year category.
Tom is an Arsenal fan, and if you happen to be getting a round in, he is a Guinness.
