It is the latest shake-up by the broadcaster as they aim to become “more agile and better equipped to serve audiences”.
Key figures such as Geoff Shreeves, Martin Tyler and Bianca Westwood have left their posts in recent years, along with a number of match reporters.
The latest big-name journalist to quit is Alan Myers, who worked for Sky Sports for more than two decades.
He announced on Twitter: “After a 23-year association I have decided to leave Sky Sports News. Difficult decision but one that I felt was right.
“It’s been such a fantastic experience from my first report at a Bolton Wanderers outwood bound course, to [the] World Cup finals, ECL Finals and everything in between!
“I couldn’t wish to have worked for a better company with the most talented and professional colleagues. I thank every one of them for their support and friendship over many years.
“It’s been a blast and I have some incredible memories, worked on some headline stories and visited over 30 countries, thank you.”
Myers was largely based in the North West and North East during his time at Sky Sports News, covering the likes of Manchester City, Newcastle, Liverpool and Everton.
