Ex-Chelsea midfielder Filipe Morais lands Grimsby deal | OneFootball

Former Chelsea midfielder Filipe Morais has landed a deal with Grimsby Town.

Grimsby have signed experienced winger Filipe Morais on a deal that runs until the summer of 2022.

Morais, 35, was a free agent after his release by Crawley Town in October.

The ex-Portugal Under-21 international has spent all his senior career in the UK, having been a youngster at Chelsea until 2006 before spells at 10 other clubs in England and Scotland.

"I'm delighted really, I am really excited to work under the manager (Ian Holloway)," he told the club website.

"He's had an amazing career, I just want to learn from him, you can never stop learning and although I'm 35, I feel I've still got a lot to offer and I feel really good, so I can't wait to get straight into it.

"It's been really nice to get to know the lads, everyone seems to be good and professional, so I have really enjoyed my first few days."
