FOX8 has announced Brian McFadden is returning to Football Superstar, its reality search for a future A-League player.
But there is a bench change with his co-host as FOX Sports presenter, Lee Furlong joins, replacing Amy Taylor.
“I had an absolute blast filming the first series and am really excited to be back at the helm again”, said McFadden.
“We uncovered some serious talent in season one which is testament to the growing popularity of football in Australia. I can’t wait to see who we discover this year!”
Furlong added, “It’s a new and exciting opportunity for me and I love watching the A-League. Every year, support for the game gets stronger and stronger and it’s great to see there are so many fans out there.
“Football Superstar is a dream opportunity for the chosen contestants and I’m delighted to be involved in such a unique concept.”
This year the Kelloggs-sponsored show will also move to Melbourne, with the winner taking home a season-long contract with Melbourne Victory, alongside a one-year scholarship with Monash University.
Playoffs for contestants continues in Brissy and Melbourne (just don’t wear any pink!).

It is a shame that Amy Taylor is not returning for series 2. She was a great a co-host and voiceover and will be missed this time around.
Good to see Melbourne Victory involved this time.
I did like Amy Taylor and thought the chemistry between the two was good.
Perhaps too good…if you know what i mean.
good to see the show back
I knew there’d be one somewhere.
I love Brian and really love Lee . Can’t wait for this show to start. Yeah.
Shame Amy Taylor isn’t returning, she could have hosted this herself. Maybe she couldn’t hide her distaste for McFadden well enough. The guy’s a pillock.
