猶大降三級加盟諾士郡
Sven-Goran Eriksson's new charges, League Two side Notts County, have announced the signing of former England and Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell.
The ambitious League Two club, who were taken over by Middle East consortium Munto Finance this summer, called a press conference at their Meadow Lane stadium and unveiled their latest signing on Tuesday afternoon.
The Magpies opened talks with the former Arsenal, Tottenham and Portsmouth centre-half last week and the 34-year-old is set to become the highest profile new arrival at the club since Eriksson's appointment as director of football last month.
Commenting on the move, Campbell said: "I am delighted to sign with Notts County today and I am genuinely excited by what the club is trying to achieve. I feel I still have a lot to offer as a footballer and hope to repay the confidence that Notts County has shown in me.
"The hard work starts now but I am confident that something special is being created at the club which will yield a club and a team able to match the ambitions of the new owners, management and proud fans."
Manager Ian McParland has moved to bring in some proven players and signings like Kasper Schmeichel, Lee Hughes, Luke Rodgers, Ben Davies, and Graeme Lee have helped take the Magpies to the top of the table.
He said: "Sol's record speaks for itself and he's achieved just about everything in the game. He is a great player and a great organiser, and his experience will be invaluable to our push for promotion this season.
Campbell, who is a free agent after his contract with Pompey expired last month, had been mulling over whether to join County. His hesitation over descending to the fourth tier of English football derived from his desire to stay in contention for a place in England's World Cup squad for next summer.
However, after reportedly turning down interest from Aston Villa, Campbell appears to have accepted that his international career may be over. |
