"Born in Ashington, Northumberland..." this para has seven sentences, six of which start with "He..." mix it up, merge a bit, and throw in the odd "Cullen" instead of he.
Okay I've actioned on those now. Thanks.

You're still using nicknames without introducing them. Who knows what "Shakers" or "Bantams" means without saying what they mean? Personally I'd stick with the club names, this is, after all, an encyclopedia.

GA, in time, long enough, sourced, inline hook citation checks out, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done.
EchetusXe, though not a DKY requirement, is there a reason the article doesn't mention anything more recent than September 2020? --

He's just been in and out of the team, not grabbing any headlines or doing anything of note to be honest. I'll have a look for any little things that could be mentioned but the season finished in a couple of months anyway so his contribution to the season will be summarised at that stage anyway.
