Los Angeles Galaxy announce Ashley Cole signing following Roma exit

MLS outfit Los Angeles Galaxy announce the signing of former Chelsea and Arsenal defender Ashley Cole.

MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy have announced the signing of former Chelsea and Arsenal defender Ashley Cole.

The 35-year-old had been without a club since leaving Roma earlier this month following an unsuccessful 18-month spell in Serie A.

"Ashley is one of the world's most successful defenders and has played at the highest level of competition throughout his career," Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena told the club website.

"He can provide our defence with valuable experience. We look forward to his contribution to our club this season."

Cole won seven FA Cups, three Premier League titles and one Champions League crown during his time with Arsenal and Chelsea between 1998 and 2014.

He will join former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and ex-Tottenham Hotspur duo Robbie Keane and Giovani dos Santos at the Galaxy, with the 2016 MLS season getting underway on March 6.
