Goalkeeper Schwarzer joins Chelsea

Veteran goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer
has joined Chelsea on a one-year deal
after leaving neighbours Fulham.
The 40-year-old was a free agent after
turning down a new contract offer at
Fulham.
He will provide competition to Czech
keeper Petr Cech.
"It's a phenomenal club," said Schwarzer.
"It's one of the biggest and best clubs in
the world, and it's an honour to sign for
Chelsea. I didn't take much convincing to
come here."
Schwarzer is the first overseas player to
make 500 English top-flight appearances.
The Sydney-born stopper moved to
England in 1996, with Bradford City. He
later joined Middlesbrough, for whom he
made more than 400 appearances in 11
years, before switching to Fulham in
2008.
He is new Chelsea manager Jose
Mourinho's third signing of the summer,
following Dutch midfielder Marco van
Ginkel, and Germany international
forward Andre Schurrle to Stamford
Bridge.
