Chelsea signed England's former goalkeeper Rob Green for a one-year contract, the club said.

"It's been a whirlwind of 24 hours," Green said. "You think about your career and where you want to go and then you get a phone call like this, and it's a short conversation."

"It's been a pretty dramatic time for me and I can not wait to get started, I'm absolutely delighted and it's a pleasure and an honor to be here."

The 38-year-old was a free player after leaving Huddersfield at the end of last season and will be the third choice at Chelsea, replacing Eduardo on loan at Speed, and behind Thibaut Courtois, who can leave the club, and Willy Caballero. Green won 12 English selections between 2005 and 2012 and played at the 2010 World Cup.

His season at Chelsea will be his 20th as a professional after stints in Norwich, West Ham, QPR, Leeds and Huddersfield.
