T

he London club has signed a two-year contract with goalkeeper Brad Friedel.

The 40-year-old American is a free agent after leaving Birmingham's Aston Villa team at the end of the season. However, his contract will technically expire at the end of the month.

The acquisition of the footballer, who was also lured by Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion, was particularly welcomed by coach Harry Redknapp: "Brad is a very experienced top-class goalkeeper.

It's great to have three such goalkeepers in the team like Friedel, Heurelho Gomes, and Carlo Cudicini. There will be more competition for a place on the field.
