Former West Brom full-back Paul Robinson comes out of retirement - and reveals management ambitions

Following Rowett's departure Robinson also left The Lions - and while he awaits his next coaching move he's put the boots back on and turned out alongside his son in the Birmingham & District Football League.

Robinson played 90 minutes for Claverdon in their 3-1 victory over Diamonds Academy Saturday Diamonds U21s on Saturday - and is planning to play regularly for the local side as he takes a bit of time out.

The tough tackling left back, who went on to Bolton before finishing his career with Birmingham City told the Baggies Broadcast: "It was really good, it is not at the levels I used to play so my body can cope with it.

"It'll be every other week unless they keep dragging me in, but I enjoyed it and it is an opportunity to play with one of my sons. I'd like to do the same with all of them, it was a great lifetime experience and a great joy to grace the same pitch."

Rowett departed Millwall last month, insisting the 'time was right' for him to move on - with Robinson mutually agreeing to move on less than a month later following the arrival of new boss Joe Edwards.

Discussing his next move and ambitions for the future, Robinson has admitted he wants to become a manager at some point and isn't afraid of dropping down to non-league in a bid to get his opportunity.

But the former Baggies man insisted that the job has to be the right one and in the mean time he is looking forward to visiting The Hawthorns to watch his former side.

He said: "It is time to reassess and re-evaluate what I want to do next.

"I want to switch off, play Saturday football, spend time with my family and enjoy catching up with people I haven't seen. And I'll be going to watch Albion and Blues again.

"I would like to be a manager one day and mentally, as well as physically, I am in a good place.

"Time will tell, I'm a positive guy and I am looking to see what comes next and that decision will hopefully be in the new year.

"As we know, football changes and you never know when you may get a phone call with a life changing experience.

"The job has to be right, I don't want to go anywhere with too many problems, I want stability and an opportunity.

"I don't want to be worried about losing my job in six months time. I want a club that believes in my philosophy.

"Who knows, if I go to a club in the National League that has stability, then I am prepared to get my hands dirty and I'll be full on ready, 100 per cent."
