“As
our new Newshub Sports Contributor, Andrew will provide New

across all Newshub platforms. Michelle’s decade of
experience covering every major national and international
sporting event, and amazing connections with Kiwi athletes,
means Newshub will continue to share the most incredible
moments in New Zealand sport.”
