South African football presenter and pundit Julia Stuart left Supersport to join Premier League Productions in London, UK United Kingdom. The move comes after the award-winning host spent eight years in a Randburg based media conglomerate.
“This is a remarkable opportunity and I’m excited to tackle the new challenge,” she said from London.
“Leaving SuperSport was a massive decision and now the irony is it seems like I’ve only really moved channels from 202 to 203 – even though my location and the league I cover has changed completely.”
Stuart’s new role will see her host a comprehensive build-up to the key Premier League fixtures each week, joined in studio by two experts.
Rendani Ramovha, SuperSport chief executive said: “Julia epitomised professionalism and we are sad to see her go. Yet we are proud she is following her dream and we will still get to see her on our platform.”
Stuart earned acclaim for her expertise while at SuperSport, both as an anchor and pitchside reporter on various football properties like the DStv Premiership.
Stuart is joining her fellow South African, friend and football journalist Melisa Reddy who works for Sky Sports International.
