It's believed Neville may consider running as Labour's Greater Manchester mayoral candidate in 2024, replacing incumbent Andy Burnham who is expected to return to the shadow frontbench.
Shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell said Neville's move has been "something he and I have been discussing for a while" and something "he’s more than capable of navigating".

Gary Neville is an outspoken critic of prime minister Boris Johnson and the various scandals dominating Westminster.
Last month, he called for Johnson's resignation claiming "this guy lacks integrity", "lies to us constantly" and is "the worst kind of leader".
An official statement from Labour is expected shortly.
