Jake Humphrey quits BT Sport as Laura Woods 'lined up' to be face of Premier and Champions League in TNT Sport rebrand

Presenter Jake Humphrey has announced that he will be stepping down from BT Sport after a decade, with speculation Laura Woods is being lined up to become the main face of the rebranded TNT Sport.

Humphrey penned a farewell statement having been the face of the broadcasting giants coverage of the English Premier League and Champions League. The 44-year-old took to Twitter to say: "After 10 wonderful years, I am stepping back from BT. As a football fan, hosting Premier League matches, FA Cup games and European Finals has meant the world to me. It has been my dream job. I’ve loved being a very small part of a world class production team. I also feel blessed to have shared the screen with legends of the game and incredible broadcasters, who have become friends. Thank you all.

“A decade on, Whisper now has hundreds of team members who I want to work with more, and the impact of High Performance amazes me daily. I’m also not ashamed to say I remain hugely ambitious. Stepping back from BT will allow me space to pursue other projects and fulfil other ambitions. I’m excited. To everyone that’s watched and commented, both good and bad (!), thank you! It’s been a blast…”

talkSPORT’s Woods has been linked with the position with the 35-year-old reportedly holding talks with the new channel, which is owned by Warner Brothers Discovery, who are confident she will sign up.
