STEVEN CAULKER has found a new club in Turkey after a two-month job search on LinkedIn.
Caulker, 32, made a name for himself in the Premier League where he amassed 123 appearances for a raft of different outfits, including Tottenham and Liverpool.
The centre-back became a free agent in May after his departure from Spanish fifth-division side Malaga City where he was player-manager.
The former England international then looked for his next destination via the job advertising website LinkedIn.
Caulker offered his service to a football club as a player-manager like he did in Spain.
And the search has paid off as the defender has just been announced by Turkish second-division side Ankara Keciorengucu.
