| IN: Murray new Football on 5 host |
Murray will take over the job of 5's Saturday night highlights show from August 5 when the programme returns for the new season.
"Football of 5 is going to be more about the action and the fans than ever before, focusing on what matters...goals on the pitch and community off it. It'll be great to be a small part of that," Murray said of his appointment.
Sunset + Vine will continue to produce the show for Channel 5, but are promising a refresh of the format for the new season. It will continue to be shown in a primetime 9pm slot.
Riley - who has been with the show since it launched two years ago - tweeted saying he wished Murray well in the role, adding: "Hope you have as much fun as we had working on this show."

Riley praised the crew and fellow presenters Hipgrave and Kelly Cates (who he hosted with for the first season) as well as thanking viewers and the EFL.
Murray will also host 5's midweek Carabao Cup highlights shows as well.
