Geoff Shreeves to leave Sky Sports

Sky Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves has announced he is leaving the broadcaster after after more than 30 years.

Geoff, who is now 58 years old, has been a member of Sky’s Premier League coverage since joining the organisation in 1992.

“There’s an old saying that you always have to know the best time to leave even the greatest party,” said Shreeves.

“And that’s what my 32 years at Sky have been – the most fantastic party I could ever imagine attending. From the first kick of a ball in the live coverage of the Premier League to Manchester City’s title celebrations last season – with plenty in between.

“I have been fortunate to work for a ground-breaking company who have helped revolutionise football. But the time is right to move on.”

Huge changes are taking place at Sky Sports ahead of the new season with the end of Soccer AM, Jeff Stelling leaving Soccer Saturday, and reports by the Daily Mail that many iconic reporters are set to leave the station.

Sky Sports’ director of football Gary Hughes said: “Geoff has been an integral part of the Sky Sports football team and the best tunnel reporter in the business, interviewing the biggest names at the biggest games for over 30 years.

“Geoff leaves with our sincere thanks and best wishes for the future.”
