Former England and Celtic striker Carlton Cole has joined Indonesian side Persib Bandung.
He will be reunited with ex-Chelsea team-mate Michael Essien, who joined the club earlier this month on a one-year contract.
Cole told the club's official website: "I never knew my career would bring me to Indonesia, (but) this is a great club. I want to pay for the support of the fans by scoring a lot of goals."
"Essien joining simplified the process for me to come over here. He's a big player in Europe. The Persib fans are great. I'm happy to be here."
Teddy Tjahyono, part of the Persib Bandung management added: "He came Monday night, on Tuesday, we (underwent) negotiations and he passed the medical test on Wednesday. He was ready to join Persib."
The 33-year-old has signed a one-year deal with the option of an extension ahead of the new Liga 1 season, which begins next month.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
