Chris Kamara announces Sky Sports exit after 24 years of service

Chris Kamara has announced he will be leaving Sky Sports at the end of the season after 24 years working for the broadcasting company.

The 64-year-old has been a favourite of many football fans for his one-liners on air and sense of humour when featuring on Sky's Soccer Saturday programme to bring supporters up to date with the latest scores from across the country.

This news comes after Kamara recently revealed he had developed a speech apraxia disorder, impeding his ability to talk. Sharing the news of his departure on social media, the former professional midfielder said: "After 24 years at Sky Sports we have announced my departure .I have loved every minute & the memories will live with me forever. Working with Jeff & the boys has been Unbelievable! And the special days on Goals on Sunday with Ben Shephard who has become a great pal. I’ve had a blast!"
