FORGOTTEN ex-Premier League star Chris Martin has signed for Bristol Rovers.
It is the eleventh club of the 34-year-old striker's career.
Martin has penned a short-term deal that runs until January with the League One side after being without a club since leaving QPR in the summer.
Bristol Rovers are currently managed by another former Prem player in Joey Barton.
Martin was with Norwich in the top-flight from in the 2012 to 2014 and he made four league appearances before being loaned out in both seasons to Crystal Palace and Swindon respectively.
He spent a total of seven years at Carrow Road before making a name for himself at Derby.
