Share:
Paul Kent is making a comeback to sport commentary on an Aussie cricket legend's podcast after being sacked from his high-profile roles with Foxtel and News Corp due to his infamous drunken street brawl. The former NRL 360 star was axed on May 30 this year while he was facing court on charges of affray following a street fight outside a pub in Sydney's inner west that saw him suffer injuries when he was thrown into a tree.

The veteran rugby league journalist was also stood down by News Corp for seven months in 2023 while he faced domestic violence charges, which were later dismissed. Now the 55-year-old has cropped up as an upcoming guest on cricket great Mike Whitney's How's That? podcast, which has also featured big names like cult hero fast bowler Lenny Pascoe, legendary batter Doug Walters, footy great Mark Carroll and musician Angry Anderson.

It's believed the episode featuring Kent will be available from February, and it will feature a 'chat about his story and what he's been up to since #NRL360' complete with some 'interesting stories', according to the podcast's TikTok. The appearance on Whitney's show is Kent's first appearance in the media since his career went off the rails this year.
