NEW YORK, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Josh Elliott is departing NBC Sports.
The network confirmed as much in a statement to news outlets Wednesday, saying, "Josh and NBC Sports mutually decided to part ways, and we wish him the best of luck in the future."
"I'm grateful for the chance to work with the remarkable team at NBC Sports, and appreciate their support as I look forward to what's next," Elliott said.
The announcement comes less than two years after the 44-year-old news anchor left ABC talk show Good Morning America for NBC. Elliott does not have a new job lined up, although he is rumored to have considered returning to GMA.
Elliott is reportedly leaving NBC due to frustration about his lack of assignments, although a source told Variety the anchor is "grateful" to the network for allowing him to break his contract. He was unable to appear on NBC talk show Today due to a 6-month non-compete clause.
Elliott previously anchored ESPN series SportsCenter, and was with GMA from 2011 to 2012. Some speculate he may now move to Fox Sports.
