Former Stevenage manage Alex Revell has rejoined Stevenage in a shock move.

The 38-year-old lost his job as first team boss in November after a home defeat to Mansfield Town to cap a bad run of one win in 14 matches.

However, Revell has now rejoined the Stevenage fold by working at the club's academy.

Speaking in the digital match programme for Saturday's 3-1 in over Walsall academy manager Robbie O'Keefe said: "Behind the scenes we have been busy making sure the group have all the support needed to give them every chance to succeed.

"Alex Revell has rejoined the academy and will work with Ronnie [Henry] and Chris [Agutter] on the pitch with the U18s and Luke O'Reilly has now joined us on a full time basis to work not only with the U18s but also our very talented schoolboy GK's.

"The support from the board to be able to implement these changes has been incredible and it's our job to make sure we underpin this support with producing players ready to jump in."
