Radhi Jaidi is to take up an overseas development role with newly promoted to the PremiershipSouthampton after confirming his retirement. The 36-year-old Tunisian defender will now step into the newly-created position to help the club build links in Africa.

"I can help find the club talent from all round the world, especially in Africa where there are a lot of talented and quality players," said Jaidi.

"We just need to show them the way and I think the Southampton way is one of the best in the Premier League, which I think will be really interesting to African players.

"It's kind of like I'm giving back to my country as well as to Southampton, it's a really good thing to do.

"I was looking at what to do without staying in Southampton but when the opportunity came up I thought 'why not'?"
