TNT Sports are freshening up their line-up ahead of next week’s launch – with Jake Humphrey having also departed to focus on other projects.
Breach, 39, has done plenty of previous work for BT Sport – presenting axed show BT Sport Score, as well as West Ham and Manchester United’s European matches in recent seasons.
In addition to her work for BT Sport, popular presenter Breach also hosts EFL highlights on ITV and England matches on Channel 4.
According to the Mail, her latest gig will see her work as a touchline reporter for TNT Sports.
The role will see her conduct pre and post-match interviews – as Kelly did for close to a decade.
Lynsey Hipgrave is set to remain as TNT Sports’ primary host for Premier League coverage.
While Laura Woods is expected to agree a deal to present Champions League matches.
The well-liked host left her position on talkSPORT’s Breakfast show last month.
