Ex-England star Andros Townsend joins Thai minnows founded 8 YEARS AGO in transfer to 16th club of his career
The 13-time England international, 34, joins the club after they were promoted to the Thai top division last season.

Townsend, who will wear number 25 for his new club, spent his summer commentating on the Fifa Club World Cup.
But it looks as if he's not ready to make the permanent jump to punditry and still has some miles left in his legs after penning his deal with Kanchanaburi.
The little-known club was established just eight years ago and is based in Mueang, Thailand.
Since its inception in 2017, the club has undergone three rebrands that have seen it change its name from Singha Golden Bells to Dragon Pathumwan Kanchanaburi and now Kanchanaburi Power.
Townsend joins 15-time Algeria international and former Lens defender Mehdi Tahrat at the Thai outfit.
Townsend will wear "Townsend Sr" on the back of his shirt instead of the last name most fans are used to seeing him wear.
That's because he has a son named Andros Townsend Jr, who you would assume he hopes could follow in his footsteps in the future.
Townsend spent last season in the Turkish top flight, making 23 appearances for Antalyaspor.

"They are not like-for-like players, but it is about making an impact and he certainly did that."The reverse pass for Erling Haaland, when he scored his second, was clever and a typical City move."All afternoon he was a threat.

Celtic quartet feature in SWPL TOTW
Lisa Rodgers (Celtic): Although the Celtic goalkeeper almost handed a goal to Hearts, she atoned for that error by making a couple of really big saves for her side when Heats were piling on a bit of pressure late in the second Golob (Glasgow City): On her Glasgow City debut she looked very comfortable. Will face bigger tests, but early evidence suggests a solid Hill (Rangers): Was back from injury to make her 100th appearance for Rangers and marked the occasion with a goal to seal a comfortable win for her Robertson (Celtic): Played out of position for Celtic against her old side on the opening weekend, showing great versatility. Calm and composed on the Forsyth (Hearts): Showed great drive for Hearts, especially in the second half, both in creating chances for team-mates and getting herself in good Rennie (Partick Thistle): Was a real threat for Partick Thistle. Didn't let her head go down when she missed a glorious chance and remained calm when scoring the winner to seal a good victory for Thistle on opening Nakao (Celtic): Such a tenacious player for Celtic, she didn't let up all afternoon to try and win the ball. In possession she was full of Livingstone (Hibs): Her two early, quickfire goals for Hibs set the tone. Always full of intent to get forward, driving on and having a shot on goal. Her energy is a real Cross (Celtic): Was an impactful player for Celtic, especially in the first half as she made life difficult for Hearts. Great pace and finish for her side's opening Kozlova (Glasgow City): Had a strong finish to last season with Glasgow City and looks to be continuing that form with two great finishes on the opening weekend. A real Wilkinson (Rangers): Carrying on from last season. The Rangers striker scored an opening day hat-trick and three very different goals - a brilliantly worked free-kick, a penalty and a header to help her side to all three points.
