Jeff Stelling replaces Laura Woods as new host of talkSPORT's Breakfast Show
The former Sky Sports 'Soccer Saturday' presenter has joined the radio station as part of a new-look team, which also includes several new signings, such as former England international Danny Rose, and football manager Martin O’Neill.
From December, Jeff will present the station's breakfast show every Monday and Tuesday from 6am to 10am, alongside ex-Scotland striker Ally McCoist.
Jeff said: "I’m so pleased to be joining the team at talkSPORT.
"As a long time listener to the show it’s a dream of mine to sit in the legendary chair and wake people up every Monday and Tuesday.
"I might not be looking forward to the 4:30 alarm call, but I am looking forward to getting stuck in with great guests, chat and fun every morning alongside the legendary Ally McCoist."
Other changes at talkSPORT will see former Aston Villa manager Martin appear on 'White and Jordan', weekdays from 10am to 1pm.
Martin will also be part of the station's live football team, alongside new signings Danny, ex-England striker Lianne Sanderson, Leeds legend Lucy Ward and former footballer-turned-sports broadcaster Scott Minto.
What's more, presenter and reporter Shebahn Aherne will take over the 'Early Breakfast Show' every morning from 5am to 6am, and she will contribute to talkSPORT Breakfast.
Liam Fisher, Head of talkSPORT, said: "I’m blown away by the fantastic roster of talent that we’re bringing to the airwaves.
"Listeners can expect a fresh sound and feel from some brilliant new faces, as well as hearing from fan favourites from across the talkSPORT network.
"Our new shows will bring fans closer to the action with deep dives into the week of sport on Sunday Edition.
"We’re also keen for fans to have their say with our new Sunday phone-in show, Final Word. This season on talkSPORT is not to be missed."
Laura confirmed in June that she was leaving her role as the host of the station's 'Breakfast Show'.
Throughout the summer, Laura has hosted ITV's coverage of the Women's World Cup, and she has also landed the role as TNT Sports' Champions League lead presenter.
