ColeVeteran striker Andy Cole signed a one-year deal with Sunderland on Friday, making the promoted north-east team his eighth professional club.
The 35-year-old, who will link-up with former Manchester United teammate Roy Keane at the Stadium of Light, left Portsmouth after last season after manager Harry Redknapp agreed to cancel the final two years of his contract.

He spent just one season with Pompey following a £500,000 move from Manchester City last summer, scoring four goals in 22 appearances.

The former England international went on loan to Birmingham in the latter stages of the season, after complaining he was not getting enough games.

Cole has also played for Bristol City, Newcastle, Manchester City, Fulham and Blackburn and is the second highest scorer in the history of the Premier Leage having netted 188 times.

Only Alan Shearer has scored more.

"I'm very excited to be here. It's another challenge and hopefully I can use my experience to help the young players at the club," said Cole.

Sunderland manager Keane said: "I met with Andy on Monday in Manchester and he has agreed to come here for a season. His experience on the field will be vital."

Cole, who was in the crowd at Wigan last weekend as the Black Cats lost 3-0 at the JJB Stadium, has been tracked by Keane for the last couple of weeks, but there was never any real chance of him joining the club in time to play a part in Saturday's home clash with Liverpool.
