Persib Bandung introduced another former Premier League player Carlton Cole as their new striker, in Graha Persib, Bandung today.
The former England National Football Team striker is the second big recruit of Maung Bandung after Ghanian midfielder Michael Essien, who once played for Chelsea, Real Madrid and AC Milan, who joined the team earlier this month.
The 33-year-old footballer has recorded seven caps with the England National Team and hundreds with the West Ham United. The player is said to have signed a one-year deal with Persib.
Cole's career has been fading in Premier League. He moved to Celtic in 2015 before he played for Sacramento Republic last year.
His presence in Persib is expectedto boost the team reputation even more after recruiting Essien.
Cole is expected to join the club's training today. Coach Djadjang Nurdjaman has previously stated that he wanted to bring a new foreign striker following the long absence of Sergio van Dijk due to injury.
