The seven-time Super Bowl champion reacted to the announcement on Twitter. He wrote: “Excited, but a lot of unfinished business on the field with @Buccaneers.”
Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch gave fans more of an insight into Brady’s role at the channel. He said the star would be an “ambassador, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives”.
“We are delighted that Tom has committed to joining the Fox team and wish him all the best during the upcoming season,” Murdoch added.
Brady is heading into his 23rd season in the NFL and is targeting an eighth Super Bowl title. Reports had suggested he was going to move to the Miami Dolphins and work as an executive alongside his playing career but the star seems to have gone in a different direction.
