Former Arsenal, Chelsea and England left-back Ashley Cole has signed for LA Galaxy, the Major League Soccer club said yesterday.

Cole left Roma this month after his contract was cancelled by “mutual consent”. The 35-year-old had made just 11 league appearances for the Serie A club after signing for them in July 2014.

Cole will link up in Los Angeles with his former England team-mate Steven Gerrard and 32-year-old Belgian defender Jelle Van Damme, who signed for the club on Tuesday.
