Former England defender Joleon Lescott has joined Spanish fourth-tier side Racing Murcia, the club have said.
Lescott, 38, retired in 2017 after a 17-year career with spells at Wolves, Everton, Manchester City, West Brom, Aston Villa, AEK Athens and Sunderland.
He won two Premier League titles, the FA Cup and League Cup after a £22m move to City in 2009.
Racing said Lescott will play in their Copa del Rey first-round tie against La Liga side Levante on 16 December.
“Our president Morris Pagniello and Racing Murcia are happy to announce the signing of English star Joleon Lescott, who will play in our Copa del Rey fixture against Levante,” the club said on Twitter.
Lescott, who played more than 600 professional appearances, won 26 caps for England between 2007 and 2013, scoring his only goal against France at Euro 2012.
In a statement on their website, the club said: “This first and historic signing allows the Racing Murcia project to be known internationally and to give relevance to a squad practically made up of players from the city of Murcia and the towns of the region.
“In the coming days, the club will announce other star players and professionals who will help the team achieve its goals, both in the league and in the Copa del Rey.”
Earlier this month, former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o was linked with a move to the club, who are based in the south east of Spain.
Striker Mathias Pogba, brother of Manchester United midfielder Paul, has been with the club since August.
