Spanish fourth-tier side Racing Murcia has confirmed he has signed for them.

Lescott played at Sunderland four years ago during David Moyes’ spell in charge at the Stadium of Light as the club were relegated to the Championship.

"Our president Morris Pagniello and Racing Murcia are happy to announce the signing of English star Joleon Lescott, who will play in our Copa del Rey fixture against Levante," the club said.
