The former SKY News presenter joins current presenters Tim Sheridan, Matt Shirvington, Nick McArdle, Warren Smith, Ben Way, Sarah Jones, Neroli Meadows and Tom Chadwick.

“Joining FOX Sports News is the ultimate job for a sports nut like me. I feel truly lucky to have the opportunity to work alongside some of the best sports presenters in Australia,” she said.

“All my life I’ve grown up in and around a wide range of sports, and I’m an avid consumer and spectator of all codes. I’m thrilled to be joining Australia’s only 24-hour sport news channel.”

Gary Burchett, Head of FOX Sports News, said “Megan is a highly experienced operator with a healthy passion for sports journalism who will not only enhance the quality of our news bulletins, but the working culture and dynamic in our newsroom.”

“Megan’s appointment to the FOX Sports News editorial ranks is evidence of our investment into the channel. She has a genuine enthusiasm for sport and I’m sure it won’t take long for her infectious passion to translate to viewers.”
