The former Scotland international left his job as first-team coach at Pompey, where he had worked under Redknapp, yesterday and will take up a similar role at Spurs.

The 56-year-old completes Redknapp's backroom staff, joining assistant manager Kevin Bond.

Redknapp said: "I am delighted to have Kevin and Joe with me here. They have both worked with me before, they are terrific football people and in my opinion they will bring so much to this club."
