Ashley Cole has joined LA Galaxy after his contract
at Roma was terminated by mutual consent.
Cole, who won four league titles, seven FA Cups
and the Champions League during his time with
Arsenal and Chelsea, joined Roma on a two-year
deal as a free agent in July 2014, but last appeared
in a 0-0 league draw at Chievo in March last year.
“Ashley is one of the world’s most successful
defenders and has played at the highest level of
competition throughout his career,” the 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 signed with Arsenal in 1998 and went on to
make 228 appearances, winning two league titles
and three FA Cups and being a vital component of
the unbeaten 2003-04 team known as “The
Invincibles”.
He moved to Chelsea in 2006 where he won two
more titles, the Champions League trophy and four
FA Cups and became one of England’s most-capped
players with over 107 appearances for his country.
The 35-year-old will join another former England
veteran Steven Gerrard at Galaxy, who begin their
MLS season on 6 March against DC United.
