“I’m very excited about what lies ahead at Fox Sports. It’s a big opportunity and I’m extremely fortunate to have been asked to join the team by Steve Crawley, who I’ve always had a terrific working relationship with,” Freedman said.

“I’ve already been in to the station a couple of times and I’ve been blown away by everyone’s energy, professionalism, work ethic and friendly nature.

“It’s also wonderful to have the support and trust of Matty Johns. To be continuing our working relationship from radio and into TV is terrific.

“Sport is my passion and I’m thrilled to be joining a network that is devoted to it and supportive of my high-energy, personality-driven approach to broadcast.”

Fox Sports head of television, Steve Crawley, said Freedman will bring a new dimension to the Fox League line-up.

“What Emma brings to Fox League is more of the fun factor: The Matty Johns, Professor and Fletch and Hindy division,” he said.

“Emma’s going to offer everything from which players need new hairdressers to who in the game is out of line and needs a not so gentle reminder”.

Full details of Freedman’s role will be announced in the coming weeks.
