Gary Hooper has joined Kettering Town who play in the Southern League Premier Division Central.
The former Hereford United striker is now 37. He came to Edgar Street in January 2008 on loan from Southend.
He made 19 appearances and scored 11 goals as Hereford were promoted from League Two in 2008. Unfortunately Graham Turner wasn’t able to sign the striker that summer who instead moved to then League One rivals Scunthorpe, who subsequently won promotion to the Championship during the 2008/2009 campaign with Hooper as top scorer.
“KTFC are excited to announce the signing of experienced forward Gary Hooper, among others he has played at Conference South and National level, the Championship, League One, Scottish Premiership (Celtic), Premiership (Norwich City) and the National League.
“Gary has previously played for Grays Athletic, Southend United, Leyton Orient (loan), Hereford United (loan), Scunthorpe United, Celtic, Norwich City, Sheffield Wednesday, Wellington Phoenix (New Zealand), Kerala Blaster (India), Omonia (Cyprus), Gulf United (UAE) and Barnet.
“With over 500 appearances and 200 goals throughout his career, Gary will add his valuable experience to Richard Lavery’s new look and exciting squad.”
