'Absolutely brilliant'
Redknapp, who guided the Fratton Park side into the Premiership in his first full season in charge, has agreed a 12-month extension to his original deal.

"We have great supporters and I could not have enjoyed two years more than I have done here - it's been absolutely brilliant."
