AFLW champion welcomed her first son Braxton recently
Has gone from the field to commentary work for Seven
Popular football commentator Abbey Holmes has decided to return to work commentating on the AFL for Channel Seven less than two months after giving birth to her son Braxton.
The 34-year-old proud mum has opened up about resuming her role with the broadcaster, working just two days per week while also taking care of her baby at home.
Her first match back will be on July 25 when Essendon take on the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.
'I feel incredibly lucky to step back into a job I love, while also soaking up the joy of being a mum,' Holmes said.
'It's the perfect balance, and I'm so grateful for the support from both my family and my work family to get me back doing what I love.
'Coming back to work fills me with so much excitement.
'I've missed the team, the buzz, and being part of the action. I'm ready to hit the ground running next Friday night at Marvel Stadium and can't wait for little Brax to see his mumma in action.
'It's been such a special time at home with Braxton and Keegan and I feel so lucky to be able to go back to a job that I love and come home to our family.'
Holmes, who is married to ex-footy star Keegan Brooksby, revealed last month that her son's birth did not go to plan and she required an emergency C-section.
