Former Reading defender Dylan Kerr has been given the task of keeping South African Premier League side Marumo Gallants in the league.

The former Leeds United academy graduate played over 100 times for the club in the 1990s and has taken charge of clubs in Vietnam, Tanzania and South Africa.

Tattooing each success he has in football on his body, he will be hoping to add another in the coming months if he can keep Marumo Gallants in the top-flight.

Officially named 'Technical Consultant', the 56-year-old will be taking on the responsibilites of manager.

Winning his first two matches in charge, Gallants sit bottom of the division- three points adrift of second-bottom Maritzburg United.

The club had not won since October before the former full-back's arrival.

Kerr now has nine games to save their season and keep them in the league.
