Forgotten Premier League star joins eleventh club of his career as he links up with Joey Barton at League One side
FORGOTTEN ex-Premier League star Chris Martin has signed for Bristol Rovers.
It is the eleventh club of the 34-year-old striker’s career.
Martin has penned a short-term deal that runs until January with the League One side after being without a club since leaving QPR in the summer.
Bristol Rovers are currently managed by another former Prem player in Joey Barton.
Martin was with Norwich in the top-flight from in the 2012 to 2014 and he made four league appearances before being loaned out in both seasons to Crystal Palace and Swindon respectively.
He spent a total of seven years at Carrow Road before making a name for himself at Derby.
Martin scored 76 goals in 225 games for the club, once finding the back of the net 20 times in the 2013/14 Championship season.
The Scottish international then went on to play for Fulham, Reading, Hull and QPR.
Now, controversially, he also spent three seasons on the red side of the town with Bristol City.
On Martin joining the Rovers, Barton said: “We are delighted to get Chris in with us and add another striker to our group.
