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

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,"

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

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
