Former Chelsea and England defender, Ashley Cole has completed his free transfer move to AS Roma.
The 33-year-old left-back became a free agent after his release by the Blues earlier this summer and had been linked with a number of teams both in the Premier League and in Europe.
A statement on the Serie A club’s official website confirmed Cole had signed a two-year contract with an option for a third season.
Earlier in the day, the Italian club posted a photograph of the former Chelsea player on their official Twitter account and welcomed him to the club as he appeared to be arriving in Italy.
Cole spent eight seasons with Chelsea, during which he won the Champions League, Europa League, Premier League and four FA Cups.
He has 107 England caps and announced his retirement from international football in May when he was left out of his country’s World Cup squad.
