Jake Humphrey has announced that he is leaving BT Sport next month after a decade with the broadcaster.
The 44-year-old has been with the outfit since it launched in 2013 and has presented the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup during that time.
BT is rebranding as TNT Sports on July 18 and ahead of the big change, Humphrey has now decided to make his exit.
"After 10 wonderful years, I am stepping back from BT," he wrote on LinkedIn. "As a football fan, hosting Premier League matches, FA Cup games and European Finals has meant the world to me. It has been my dream job.
.
"I've loved being a very small part of a world class production team. I also feel blessed to have shared the screen with legends of the game and incredible broadcasters, who have become friends. Thank you all."
He added: "I'm also not ashamed to say I remain hugely ambitious.
"Stepping back from BT will allow me space to pursue other projects and fulfil other ambitions. I'm excited.
"To everyone that's watched and commented, both good and bad (!), thank you! It's been a blast."
A BT Sport spokesperson confirmed: "We thank Jake for his huge commitment to BT Sport as a mainstay of our coverage since launch. Jake has made a massive contribution to the success of BT Sport over the past decade and will always be much-loved by all of us.
"We're looking forward to celebrating Jake with a tribute during our Champions League Final coverage next month and giving him a fitting finale for his ten years on BT Sport."
Humphrey's departure comes months after a report claimed that Gary Lineker was being courted by TNT to be its new lead football presenter next season. body check tags ::
