Geoff Shreeves hints at new role as TV icon quits Sky Sports after 'rejecting pay cut'

Geoff Shreeves has hinted he could land a new TV role after announcing his shock exit from Sky Sports following 32 years of service with the broadcaster. The reporter, who is synonymous with Sky's Premier League football coverage for his no-nonsense interviews and pitchside insight, rejected the chance to stay in his current job after reportedly turning down a pay cut as he prepares to bid farewell to the company.

Shreeves bows out from Sky immediately, having joined the British broadcasting giant in 1991, ahead of the new 2023-24 season after it was claimed he was offered a reduction in his salary.
