Former Chelsea keeper Turnbull signs up for Doncaster on free transfer

Doncaster have continued a busy day in the transfer market with the signing of former Chelsea goalkeeper Ross Turnbull.

Turnbull, 28, has been available on a free transfer since being released by Chelsea earlier this summer.

The club have confirmed him as their third signing of the day following the arrival on a season-long loan of Tottenham's South Africa international Bongani Khumalo and a three-year deal for former Aston Villa midfielder Harry Forrester.

Doncaster had been linked with a loan move for Villa's veteran goalkeeper Shay Given after the departures of Neil Sullivan and Gary Woods this off-season, but have instead snapped up former Middlesbrough stopper Turnbull on a one-year deal.

Khumalo, the 26-year-old Bafana Bafana captain, featured in last week's friendly against Bradford, partnering Rob Jones at the back.

Khumalo joined Spurs from Supersport United in 2010 and has also enjoyed loan spells with Preston and Reading.

'I'm very pleased to be here. I'm very happy that things have worked out and I'm just looking forward to the start of the season,' he told the club's official website.

'All the lads have been really welcoming, which really helps. I've had a lot of support from the skipper and everyone has made it really easy to make the transition.

'Dean [Furman] and I have met before having played in the national team, so it was great to come here and see a familiar face.'
