Michael Thomson (left) is to return to Channel Nine Perth where he worked for more than 25 years before leaving the station in 2011. He is rejoining in the Head of Sport role effective December 9th.

“I am delighted to welcome Michael Thomson back to Nine Perth,” said Channel Nine Perth managing director David Mott. “He is one of Western Australia’s most respected and trusted sports journalists and commentators. It was an easy decision to appoint Thommo as Head of Sport. Nine Perth is in his DNA and his knowledge of sport is impeccable. He will bring depth and experience to our sports team, and above all else he’s a great bloke.”

Thomson is resigning as Marketing, Sponsorship and Communications Manager for Surf Life Saving Western Australia to return to Channel Nine Perth.

Thomson said: “It is terrific to be coming home to Channel Nine presenting sport again and I’ve always enjoyed working with Mark Readings and the talented Nine Sport team. Now that the Nine Network has acquired STW it couldn’t be a better time to return. I’m really looking forward to being part of the Nine team with David Mott at the helm.”
