Harry Redknapp has been approached by Yeovil Town with an invitation to work in an advisory role with the first team.

The 70-year-old was sacked by Birmingham last month after five months in charge, having overseen the club's Championship survival towards the end of last season.

Yeovil manager Darren Way, 37, contacted Redknapp to put forward a proposal with the view to the former Tottenham boss sharing his experience and contacts within the sport, after he recently revealed a desire to help a young manager.

Way told the Glovers' official website: "Harry has been in the game a long time and is someone I highly respect for all the experience he's gained and achievements he's accomplished.

"I'm still starting my journey in management and feel the opportunity to bring in someone like Harry to offer advice and pass on his knowledge is a no-brainer.

"There's no pressure or long-term commitment from either side, but I'm looking forward to having Harry at Huish Park and we welcome him to the club."
