Seydou Doumbia: Ex-Newcastle United and Girona striker joins FC Sion

Seydou Doumbia has signed a one-year deal with Swiss Super League side FC Sion on a free transfer.

The 31-year-old striker joined Girona last season but left the Spanish club in the summer following their relegation to the Segunda Division.

On Monday, the forward, who had previously played in Switzerland with Young Boys, completed his return to the country after penning a short-term deal with the Stade Tourbillon outfit.

"I am very happy to have found an agreement with Seydou, he has the experience of Switzerland and he will not need time for adaptation,” club president Christian Constantin told the club website.
