The Irish defender, formerly of Birmingham City, has been on the look-out for a club after his less than friendly exit from the West Midlands.

Meanwhile, his odds on becoming next Sunderland manager have been dramatically slashed to 10-1, with some bookmakers even refusing to take bets.

A selection of other odds are:

Martin O'Neill: 9-2, NiallQuinn: 6-1, Alex McLeish: 7-1, Roy Keane and Glenn Hoddle: 8-1, Alan Curbishley: 10-1
