Gough has played over 50 test matches and 150 ODI’s for England and becoming the first Englishman to take 200 wickets in one-day internationals.

Darren said: “I’ve learnt so much over the last three years working with Adrian. I really love what I do and we’ve got a great team and atmosphere at talkSPORT. I’m looking forward to being here for a long time and taking the show to the next level. Roll on this summer’s Lions tour, the Ashes and Brazil 2014!”
