Joleon Lescott's Career Has Just Hit Rock Bottom

Joleon Lescott's career has just hit rock bottom.

The former Manchester City man left Aston Villa after their relegation to the Championship in the summer and was heavily linked with a move to Rangers.

However he penned a two-year contract with Greek side AEK Athens. But the move has certainly not been a succesful one and his contract has been terminated on mutual grounds after just three months with the club.

The 34-year old's next career move is unclear.
