Jake Humphrey ends his association with the BBC to take up a role covering Premier League football with BT.

BT have poached Jake Humphrey to become the main anchor of their Premier League football coverage.

Humphrey, 33, has spent the majority of his career with BBC Sport, primarily covering football and motor racing.

"I am incredibly excited to be joining the team at BT not just because I get to fulfil a lifelong dream of presenting the Barclays Premier League but because of the fresh perspective that BT will bring to both sport and broadcasting in this country," said Humphrey.

"To be a part of this young, vibrant team who are as passionate about sport, as I am, is a privilege.

"I've grown up at the BBC, and whilst I hope to work with them in the future, I'd also like to place on record my thanks to them. I am incredibly grateful to all colleagues, and of course the viewers, for their incredible support from CBBC all the way to Formula 1. My focus from the start of 2013 is on making BT's coverage of football the best this country has ever seen."

Humphrey will begin his role in January 2013 on a four-year contract. BT picked up the broadcast rights to 38 Premier League games a season from 2013-14.
