Grant Holt's football career may be winding down but the former Hibs striker is set to take on a new challenge... as a wrestler.

The big frontman has been a player-coach at English minnows Barrow in the National League since 2017.

But, at 37, it seems he's not quite ready to slip into quiet retirement.

WWE-style company World Association of Wrestling have announced Holt's addition to the card for an upcoming show next year.

The ex- Norwich City veteran has even appeared on a promotional poster - in full Canaries kit - for "Fightmare 3".

Holt will team up with Zak and Roy Knight, collectively known as the UK Hooligans.

And it's not just a cameo either, fans have been told to be prepared for more in-ring appearances from the one-time Easter Road man.

Holt signed a one-year contract with Hibs in 2016, scoring seven goals in 39 appearances for the club as Neil Lennon 's side swept to the Championship title.

He was released at the end of his deal in May 2017.
