DONE DEAL: Former Wolves, Birmingham defender Johnson heads to Pune City

Indian Super League club Pune City FC have signed English defender Roger Johnson.

The 32-year-old has opted to make his way to India after his contract with Charlton Athletic expired at the end of last season.

The former Cardiff City, Wolves and Birmingham City centre-back links up with former Aston Villa and Arsenal midfielder and ex-Manchester City coach David Platt who took the reins at Pune in late May.

Johnson joins ex-Tottenham and Ivory Coast midfielder Didier Zokora, former Chelsea and Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu and Turkish great Tuncay Sanli who was a fan favourite at Middlesbrough.
