Hayley is in her second stint at Sky Sports News. She first joined us in 2005 and spent just over a year on your screens before departing. But she was back again in 2010 and can now be seen presenting peak shows such as First, Fast Now and Afternoon Update. Before all that Hayley graduated with a BA Hons degree in PR, Marketing and Journalism and as a huge football fan - her father Gordon played for Scotland, Leeds and Manchester United - she even produced a documentary for here final major: 'The Fashion of Football, from Best to Beckham' - looking at how the image of the game changed from the 60's to the present day. She started her career as a runner and production assistant on Richard & Judy before getting her big break in sports television with Middlesbrough Football Club's own channel as a runner and production assistant. She then joined the club's Football in the Community Scheme before joining us for her first spell. Manchester United then came calling and she was soon the anchor, presenting live match-day build-up and post-match phone-in shows on MUTV. Her work included interviewing players past and present and travelling with United across Europe to cover their Champions League campaigns. But in 2010 the lure of Sky Sports News was too much and she was back again for her second spell.
