Retired Geelong superstar Tom Hawkins has reportedly signed as a football expert with AFL broadcaster Fox Footy for the 2025 season.

Hawkins is the latest big name to join the team at Fox, linking up with Port Adelaide and Hawthorn premiership player Shaun Burgoyne.

The 36-year-old has been a regular feature on the broadcaster's AFL 360 but will now join the 'Super Saturday' coverage next year.

'Super Saturday Live', available on Kayo Sports and Foxtel, will be the only way to watch games live on Saturday until at least Round 8 of next season.

Fox Sports managing director Steve Crawley was excited to add another talent to their mix, in a new era for the channel in 2025.

"With our expanded rights next year, we've been on the hunt for top talent and Tom Hawkins is a great get," Fox Sports Managing Director Steve Crawley said.

"He's a great footy brain, he's universally admired, and our audiences will love his raw and authentic opinions."

In 2025, he will take his place at Fox Footy alongside former teammate Cameron Mooney and other respected experts such as Jason Dunstall, Eddie Betts, Nathan Buckley and more.

During the 2025 AFL season, Fox Footy commentary and production will be available on all games for the first time along with no ad-breaks during play, and every match will also be made available in 4K on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.
