Paul Jewell is reportedly on the verge of returning to football with West Bromwich Albion.

The 50-year-old has been out of work since he left Championship side Ipswich Town back in 2012.

However, Jewell will now form part of Tony Pulis's backroom team at The Hawthorns alongside Dave Kemp and Gerry Francis, according to the Express & Star.

Yesterday, the Baggies announced that coaches Rob Kelly, Keith Downing and Dean Kiely had all left the club in the wake of Pulis's recent appointment.
