The footballer turned pundit took to his Instagram Stories to reveal that his nephew, Harry Redknapp Jr., had signed for AFC Bournemouth, which plays in the Championship, the second tier in British football. Jamie shared a photo of Harry holding up his new team's club shirt, and wrote: "Congratulations to my nephew @h.redknappjr signing for @officialafcb."

Harry appears to be following in Jamie's footsteps, as the former footballer started his senior career with the same team, making 13 appearances for them.

He would go to play for Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton, and also made appearances for the national team between 1995 and 1999.

Jamie's father, Harry Redknapp, also played for AFC Bournemouth between 1972 and 1976, and even managed the team for nine years after he hung his footballing boots up.

Harry Redknapp Jr. is continuing the family tradition

Jamie's eldest sons, Charley and Beau, are also following in the sporting tradition for the family, although both of them have opted for rugby instead of football.

And back in June the 48-year-old shared his pride as Charley also experienced success. The teenager was competing in a match for the Epsom College Rugby Football Club, although Jamie didn't share the final result from the game.
