Chelsea bring in reserve keeper

Chelsea have signed Middlesbrough's goalkeeper Ross Turnbull on a free transfer.

The 24 year old was without a contract at the end of June as Middlesbrough, who were relegated to the Championship at the end of the season decided not to renew his deal.

There was interest from other clubs as well but Chelsea were always the front runners and now they've made the deal official.

The shot stopper would be Chelsea's second option after Peter Cech and Hillario.

Chelsea's squad in the goalkeeping area had dwindled after Carlo Cudicini moved to Spurs at the end of last season.
