HARRY REDKNAPP’S grandson, Harry Redknapp Jr, has signed for non-league side Dorchester Town.
The former AFC Bournemouth youth team player was one of 14 stars released by the club this summer.
Redknapp, 18, joined Bournemouth at the age of seven after being born in nearby Poole.
The centre-back spent time at Dorchester on loan last season, and made two appearances for QPR Under-18s in the FA Youth Cup.
The Southern League Premier Division South side have opted to make the move permanent this summer following his release from Bournemouth.
He follows in the footsteps of his father Mark and grandfather Harry in signing for Dorchester – with all three of them playing for the Magpies at some point in their career.

“Harry made a great impression in the brief time he was with us at the end of the season and we feel he is a player with huge ability and the potential to get back into full time football.
“He will be a real asset and we are very happy to have him with us.”
Redknapp Jr is the nephew of former Liverpool and Tottenham star Jamie Redknapp.
