Former England international striker Emile Heskey has ended his search for a new club by signing for Australian side Newcastle Jets.

Heskey joins former Sunderland forward Michael Bridges at the Jets and coach Gary van Egmond is delighted with the capture. "Emile is someone who has unbelievable experience, having played for England 62 times," van Egmond said. "His effectiveness in being able to hold the ball up and invite other players to play off him is going to be a big benefit to us. "He's someone who can really lead the line and is exactly what we've been missing."
