Sky Sports have confirmed commentator Peter Drury is joining them for the 2023-24 season, in a move that will see him replace Martin Tyler as their voice of the Premier League.
Tyler is stepping down from his role with Sky after 33 years at the broadcaster.
And Drury will become Sky’s main commentator in what is likely to be a popular move.
Drury is currently the voice of the Premier League on US broadcaster NBC Sports and will combine his new role at Sky with his work in the States.
He said: "I'm massively excited to be joining Sky's outstanding roster of commentators. To be working on the best games week in week out with a broadcaster that has told the Premier League story since the very beginning feels like the opportunity of my career and I can't wait to get started."
Sky Sports director of football Gary Hughes said: “We’re looking forward to welcoming Peter Drury to Sky Sports. Peter’s one of the game’s most poetic commentators and will bring great energy and enthusiasm as well as his award-winning broadcasting experience to our unrivalled coverage of the Premier League.”
Drury, 55, is one of the most popular commentators in the game but he is rarely heard on English television because of his overseas commitments.
In a statement, Sky said: “Drury has over 30 years of experience across TV and radio and will join a team of Sky Sports commentators including Rob Hawthorne, Bill Leslie, Seb Hutchinson, Dan Mann, Gary Weaver and Ian Crocker for the new campaign.”
