Ex-England star Andros Townsend joins Thai minnows founded 8 YEARS AGO in transfer to 16th club of his career

ANDROS TOWNSEND had signed for Thai club Kanchanaburi Power, marking a move to the 16th different 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.

Across his career the winger has played for 15 different clubs, including the likes of Everton, Tottenham and Crystal Palace.

His last stint in the Premier League came during the 2023/24 season, when he made 27 league appearances for Luton Town.
