Miles Harrison

Miles Harrison is the principal rugby union commentator for British television network Sky Sports. After obtaining a degree in Politics and Economic History from the University of York and a post-graduate qualification in Radio Journalism from City University London, he worked for the BBC in York and Leeds. In the early 1990s, he moved to BBC Radio Sport, commentating on rugby union, football and cricket. He was also part of the commentary team for BBC Radio's coverage of the Wimbledon tennis tournament each summer and was a regular presenter of the sports news on Today (BBC Radio 4).

In 1994, when Sky secured the rights to live club rugby, Harrison was invited to be the lead commentator. Since then, he has covered six British and Irish Lions tours, fifteen European Rugby Champions Cup finals and was named the 2007 Guinness Rugby Union Journalist of the Season. He has also been the regular commentator for England internationals, at home and abroad, and for numerous domestic club competitions. In 1997, he was the commentator on Sky's BAFTA award-winning rugby union coverage. Harrison was also the commentator on ITV Sport's BAFTA nominated rugby union coverage in 2007 and 2017.

In 2007, Harrison and his regular co-commentator Stuart Barnes were loaned out to ITV Sport to cover the Rugby World Cup.

For the 2011 Rugby World Cup both Harrison and Barnes were again loaned, this time to Sky Television in New Zealand.
