Brighton & Hove Albion sign former striker Bobby Zamora

Brighton and Hove Albion have completed the signing of former striker Bobby Zamora.

He will join the club on a one-year deal – the former England international left Queens Park rangers at the end of last season, he made his name with the Albion between 2000 and 2003.

During that time he scored 83 goals.

Manager Chris Hughton said, “We are absolutely delighted to have brought Bobby back to Brighton. He needs absolutely no introduction here. The Albion fans know everything about him, from his achievements in a Brighton shirt and right through his time with Spurs, West Ham, Fulham and QPR.”

“He will also bring a lot in terms of character to the club and to the dressing room – but most importantly, having played more than 30 times for QPR last season, he brings top quality to our offensive options.

“We still have work to do in terms of adding to the squad, including those offensive options, in terms of creating and scoring goals.”

Zamora joined the Seagulls for £100,000 back in 2000 after a loan spell where he scored six goals in six games.

He helped the club secure championship victories in 2001 and 2002 before moving to Spurs in a deal worth £1.5 million.
