Sky Sports favourite announces exit after 16 years as major reshuffle continues
Sky Sports' summer exodus is continuing, with Paul Gilmour confirming he has joined the growing list of presenters and reporters to leave the broadcaster this year Sky Sports presenter Paul Gilmour has announced his departure from the broadcaster. Gilmour had been part of the furniture during 16 years with the company, including on Sky Sports News' transfer deadline day coverage. "After 16 brilliant years in N Ireland/London with @SkySportsNews, it's time to leave," Gilmour wrote on social media. "Was proud & grateful to cover major finals, tournaments, 25 Deadline Days, domestic games & become a PL commentator. Thank you to everyone I've worked with over the years. It's been a pleasure." A number of his former colleagues shared messages of support following the news. Others, meanwhile, spoke of it being a "huge loss" for Sky Sports. "Hard-working, honest & humble - what a brilliant tenure at Sky Sports News!" former Sky Sports News regular Bryan Swanson wrote. "The fresh-faced rookie from Carrick went on to deliver great scoops, big-name interviews, commentaries and everything in between over the years. The consummate professional, you should be proud. Best wishes for the future, Paul!" There was also a message of support from Gilmour's compatriot and Northern Ireland international striker Conor Washington. "Some man! All the best pal," the Derby County star wrote. Gilmour isn't the only long-serving presenter to move on. Rob Wotton has been with Sky Sports for 27 years, but this season will also be his last. He recently hosted The Football Show, which is being cut from scheduled, and also appeared on Sky Sports News' regular broadcasts. "It's been an absolute pleasure. I came here in my 20s and I thought I was only coming for a couple of weeks," Wotton said in an emotional farewell speech. "And look, they haven't been able to get rid of me. I keep turning up, maybe one day they'll pay me!" Several other exits have also been confirmed this week, including those of Melissa Reddy. Jeremy Langdon and Fadumo Okow. Reddy, who spent the last three years with Sky as a senior reporter, has opened up on her future plans following her exit. "ELEVENTH!!! season of Premier League coverage done and I've called time on three years at Sky. I'll still be doing bits and bobs for them," Reddy wrote on Instagram. "But I'm genuinely soooo excited to share all the things I'll be working on soon, which will allow me to focus on my strengths and passions. For those that have BEEN asking for the past five years, YES - that will include new books." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

CNN Sports' Amanda Davies named Broadcast Journalist of the Year at SJA British Sports Journalism Awards
CNN Sports' Amanda Davies was crowned Broadcast Journalist of the Year at the SJA British Sports Journalism Awards on Monday. Davies was up against the BBC's Dan Roan, Sky Sports' Patrick Davison, Sky News' Rob Harris, Amazon Prime's Alex Aljoe and Sky Sports News' Craig Slater. Afterwards, Davies called the winning of the award 'really, really special.' 'People say: 'Oh, awards don't matter until you win them.' But it is,' Davies told the SJA. 'I said it in (the awards hall), the only job I wanted in the world, as well as being mom to my daughter Molly, is to do what I do and to be given the platform I'm given to do the job I do and, hopefully, make a little bit of difference and tell the stories that matter. 'And then to be recognized for that after 25 years in the industry, it's amazing.' The SJA adjudged that Davies' entry 'demonstrated remarkable versatility, underpinned by one constant – a sharp instinct for news.' 'Whether anchoring in the studio, reporting from the heart of a war zone, or commanding the stage at a high-profile awards ceremony, she exemplifies fearless journalism,' it said. 'She never shies away from asking the tough questions, balancing unrelenting professionalism with an innate ability to connect with people. Her tenacity, poise, and dedication to uncovering the truth ensure she delivers compelling stories every time.' Davies' submission included a mix of exclusive interviews and breaking news stories from across the globe. That included breaking the news of World Athletics president Seb Coe's visit to Ukraine – featuring exclusive access to travel alongside Coe to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky – as well as being the only person to speak with soccer star Kylian Mbappé when he left Paris Saint-Germain. Davies also reported two headline-making news lines from Cristiano Ronaldo – his belief that the Saudi league is better than France's Ligue 1 and his plans to go into club ownership – while tennis legend Serena Williams revealed her big plans for the WNBA. 'When the big names made news in 2024 – it was Amanda they trusted,' Davies' submission said. CNN Sports was also nominated in two other categories at this year's SJA Awards, which recognize the best contributors to the UK's sports journalism industry. World Sport – CNN's daily sports show co-hosted by Davies – came third in the best television show category, with Sky Sports News' Deadline Day finishing first. CNN was also nominated in the Television Live Event Coverage category for its coverage of the Paris Olympics.

How to watch Deadline Day live, full details as transfer window set to shut in the Premier League
Transfer deadline day is fast approaching in the Premier League and there are plenty of deals set to be complete right up until the last second. MORE — Confirmed January ins and outs for all Premier League clubs Below is everything you need to know about the winter window shutting, plus how you can keep up to date with all of the latest transfer news. What time does the transfer window shut? The January transfer window, or winter window as it has now been called, shuts on Monday, February 3 at 6pm ET. All Premier League clubs will have until that deadline to make their moves. However, if a particular deal is going right up to the wire clubs can also submit a 'deal sheet' which if accepted gives them an extra few hours to complete paperwork and formalities. How can you watch transfer deadline day live? In the USA you can watch Sky Sports News' coverage of deadline day on Peacock from 12-7pm ET. Our studio show will also have you covered with analysis and reaction to breaking news before, during and after Chelsea vs West Ham which kicks off at 3pm ET on Monday, February 3. Why does the Premier League January transfer window actually close in February? The Premier League have spoken with other leagues around Europe, including the English Football League, Serie A, La Liga, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, who all agreed to close their winter window on the same day: Monday February 3, 2025. Why? Well, that harmonizes the entire process and means one league will not benefit over the other if they leave their window open slightly later so they can snap up players who weren't picked up before the deadline in other countries. It's good to get along.
