Chelsea have signed former England goalkeeper Robert Green on a one-year deal.

The 38-year-old joins on a free transfer after being released by Huddersfield, where he did not make a first-team appearance last season.

Green has played over 650 games for Norwich, West Ham, QPR and Leeds and has 12 England caps.

[ads1]Chelsea say he will provide back-up to Thibaut Courtois and Willy Caballero at Stamford Bridge.

“You are thinking about your career and where you want to go and then you get a phone call like this – and it is a short conversation.

“It has been a pretty dramatic time for me and it is a thrill and an honour to be here.”

Green did not play for Huddersfield last season and featured once for Leeds United in a 5-1 victory over Newport County in the Carabao Cup in August.

He becomes Chelsea’s second summer signing after Italy midfielder Jorginho followed new boss Maurizio Sarri to Stamford Bridge from Napoli.
