Jermaine Pennant is the latest former Premier League player to join ambitious non-league club Billericay Town.

The former Arsenal, Liverpool and Stoke winger has been without a club since leaving League One Bury at the end of last season and has joined the Isthmian Premier Division side, along with former Wolves defender Kevin Foley and West Ham youth product Leo Chambers.

The trio join former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara and West Ham and Fulham defender Paul Konchesky at the Essex club.

The deals were announced by owner Glenn Tamplin - a businessman who is hoping to take the club up three tiers to the Football League.

 Pennant said he turned down offers from abroad to join the Essex club as he was the right move for his family.
