Last updated : 28 July 2015 By Paul Lagan

Didier Drogba has signed for Canadian side Montreal Impact.

The 37-year-old Ivory Coast hit man left Chelsea at the end of last season after two spells at the Premier League champions.

He scored 164 goals in nine-years.

Montreal president Joey Saputo told impactmontreal.com: "It's an honour to welcome Didier Drogba to the Impact.

"From the first conversation I had with him, I felt that he really wanted to play in Montreal

This is one of the biggest days in club history and his arrival to the club will be beneficial in every aspect."

Montreal are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference, one place above Frank Lampard's New York City.
