Anthony Stokes Persepolis

Dailymail - Former Celtic forward Anthony Stokes is signing for Iranian side Persepolis, based in Tehran.

The much travelled 31-year old Republic of Ireland striker is joining on a six month contract to play in Iran’s Pro League.

Stokes was released early from his contract with Turkish side Adana Demispor in November after scoring once in six games.

He has now found his fifth club since leaving Scotland in January 2018.

Stokes featured for Apollon Smyrnisis in Greece and Iranian side Tractor Sazi since departing Easter Road.

The Dublin-born man began his career at Shelbourne in Ireland before joining Arsenal's youth system in 2003.
