Jermain Defoe could become assistant manager at EFL club four months after leaving Woking

Defoe has been sounded out for an assistant manager role at League One side Bromley if former former Salford boss Robinson is appointed manager.

Jermain Defoe could join League One club Bromley as assistant manager, according to the Daily Mail. The move would come four months after the ex-Premier League striker left his role as Bromley manager in July following a breakdown with the club's director of football. Defoe departed Woking dramatically, failing to attend training before calling to say he would not return.

Bromley are currently without a manager after Andy Woodman was dismissed on October 22 following five-and-a-half years in charge. The club sit bottom of League One. The potential appointment hinges on former former Salford City boss Robinson being chosen to fill the vacant manager's position. Robinson has been without a club since Salford sacked him in June following their League Two play-off final defeat. Robinson previously tried to sign Defoe as a player while managing Oxford United after the forward left Rangers in 2022.
