COVENTRY CITY - Joe Cole joins Tamba Bay Rowdies

Published on: 05 May 2016

On Wednesday, after months of tough negotiations, former Chelsea star Joe Cole has signed a deal to join the Tampa Bay Rowdies. The Rodies are an American soccer team based in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida and member of the NASL, a level below MLS.

Cole has reportedly put pen to paper on a deal until the end of the 2017 season, with a one-year option to extend, and will leave Coventry City at the end of the season to play in the United States.

He said: “It’s a very exciting time for me, I’ve always envisaged playing in the United States at some point in my life and this opportunity came up. 

"My family and I came out to visit a few months ago and everyone was lovely, they really made us feel welcomed. I’m really excited to get started and I want to be part of a successful team."

"My desire to win football matches is still there, I’m not coming for an extended holiday. I want to win football matches and of course experience a new lifestyle with my family, but the priority for me is success on the pitch.”
