Fox Sports NRL reporter, proud Kamilaroi man, and advocate for First Nations reconciliation.
Jake Duke is a presenter, reporter and MC for Fox Sports Australia, specialising in rugby league coverage as a sideline reporter and host in the NRL. He began his media career as a cadet journalist at Channel Nine at 19, quickly progressing to sports producer on the Today Show and Sydney's 6pm news, before moving into reporting in the country's biggest newsroom and hosting a weekly segment on Nine's Wide World of Sports.
A proud Aboriginal man of Kamilaroi descent, Jake brings a dimension to his work that extends well beyond the broadcast. He is deeply committed to reconciliation, First Nations advocacy and charity work — using his platform as an MC and public figure to raise awareness and create meaningful conversations about inclusion and belonging. His rise through Australian sports media is not just a career story; it is also a story about identity, resilience and the power of representation.
As an event host, Jake commands the stage with charisma and a storyteller's instinct for connection. He covers topics ranging from master of ceremonies and sport to diversity and inclusion, Indigenous culture and resilience — making him a versatile choice for organisations looking for a host who brings both credibility and genuine personal depth to the room.
Jake Duke is a keynote speaker and MC based in New South Wales who speaks on diversity & inclusion, media & journalism and mental health & wellbeing. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
