Tyrone football legend Peter Canavan will provide analysis on the BBC Northern Ireland's championship coverage this summer.

While ex-Armagh midfielder Jarlath Burns and former Donegal star Martin McHugh have been retained as the anchor pundits, the BBC has confirmed that Canavan "will join the studio team over the course of the campaign".

The 2003 All-Ireland winning captain writes a monthly column for hoganstand.com and has also worked as a pundit for TV3 in the past.

Austin O'Callaghan will host the BBC shows and Thomas Kane will act as a sideline reporter. Commentary will be provided by Mark Sidebottom.

The BBC will show all of this summer's Ulster SFC games live, beginning next Sunday when Derry and Armagh meet in Celtic Park. Coverage starts on BBC2 at 1.45pm. Tweet
