Nile Ranger: Former Newcastle United striker signs for Sunday League side AC United

Former Premier League striker Nile Ranger has signed for Sunday League side AC United.

News that the ex-Newcastle, Blackpool and Swindon Town forward, who last played league football for Southend in 2018, had joined the club was announced on Twitter.

Ranger, 29, could play in Division One of the Barnet Sunday League just two years after he starred in League One, the third tier of English football.

League secretary John Eager said: "I think the registration secretary must have just clicked approve, not thinking anything of it.

"If you said 'Nile Ranger' to me, I would have told you he was the geezer I used to sign with League Two teams on Fifa when I was trying to get them promoted.
