KRIS SMITH JOINS FOXTEL
TO HOST FOOTBALL SUPERSTAR
The third season of FOX8’s breakout hit Australian reality series, Football Superstar, will be hosted by Chadwick's very own Kris Smith.
An ex-professional Rugby player, Kris says "...it’s a real honour to be able to use the knowledge and motivational skills that I have learnt over the years and impart some of that to a new generation of hungry young players.
“Growing up in the UK, I have soccer in my blood, and while I made a professional choice to play rugby league, I played football as a youngster and am a huge fan of the world game, supporting my beloved Manchester United whom I follow religiously.”
The former Leeds star began his fulltime professional career at just 14, playing for a number of high profile UK clubs before going on to represent Great Britain against France in 1997. A trained physical education teacher, persistent injuries forced him to retire in 2008, when he embarked on a new career in modelling. Kris was contracted as the mens face of Myer at the start of last year and his star continues to rise!
Football Superstar will give 15 young sporting hopefuls the opportunity to hone their skills with expert coaching from former Australian Youth team coach Ange Postecoglou. Principal production commences next month when the finalists, selected during a national tryout tour, are gathered in Brisbane.
In the course of the eight episode series, players will be assessed and eliminated until there is one ultimate winner – a ‘Football Superstar’ who lands the dream career opportunity of a contract with Brisbane Roar and a one year University of Queensland scholarship.
Football Superstar, premieres exclusively on FOX8 in June 2010.
