Blue Square Premier club York City have signed a new player – aged 40!
The Minstermen have signed veteran Australian goalkeeper Simon Miotto as cover.
Miotto began his career in 1993 with Launceston Juventus in Tasmania's Northern Premier League.
In 1994 he was signed by then-Blackpool manager Sam Allardyce. He spent one season at Bloomfield Road before being released without making a first-team appearance for the Seasiders.
In 1998 he moved to Hartlepool United, for whom he made five appearances in two years.
He joined Scunthorpe United briefly in 2000, and then moved to north of the border with Raith Rovers and St Johnstone.
In July 2004, then-West Brom manager Gary Megson gave him a one-year contract at The Hawthorns.
He has since been plying his trade in Danish football with the likes of Olstykke, Akademisk Boldklub, Koge Boldclub and Herfolge BK.
