Martin will pen his views in weekly columns on all the big sporting stories. He will also write across the news pages and magazines - both digitally and in print - for The Times and The Sunday Times throughout the year.
On talkSPORT, Martin will co-host a weekly show every Thursday night from 7-10pm - talking through all the latest sports news. He will also serve as a regular guest on the station’s breakfast show, and will appear frequently in the studio as a panellist on TalkTV.
Martin is an award-winning journalist who joins Times Media after 14 years at the Daily Mail and Mail Online as sports columnist. He was a sports columnist for GQ Magazine from 2012 and has previously worked for The Times, News of the World, Jewish Chronicle, Daily Express, The Sun and Sunday People.
Martin said: “Returning to The Times and covering what I think is the most exciting patch in journalism, is a huge honour. I’m also looking forward to meeting new audiences on talkSPORT and TalkTV.”
Tony Gallagher, editor of The Times, said: “Martin is one of the most garlanded sports journalists of his generation. He sets the benchmark for sports columns every week and I am certain he will be a brilliant asset to The Times and News UK.”
Ben Taylor, deputy editor of The Sunday Times, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Martin aboard. He is a hugely popular writer appealing to sports fans and non-sports fans alike. The opportunities for brilliant sport content are extraordinary right now and he will be invaluable to our team.”
