Andranik Teymourian joins Gostaresh Foulad Tabriz

PressTV – TABRIZ, Iranian footballer Andranik Teymourian has signed with Gostaresh Foulad Tabriz Football Club, which currently competes at the highest level of the Iranian football league system known as the Persian Gulf Pro League.

The 34-year-old former captain of Iran men’s national football team joined the Tabriz-based club on a one-year contract for an undisclosed fee on Monday.

Teymourian played for three English clubs, including Bolton and Fulham in the Premier League as well as Barnsley in the Football League Championship from 2006 to the end of 2010.

Teymourian signed a contract with Esteghlal in mid-July 2011, and made his debut for club against Isfahan-based Foolad Mobarakeh Sepahan football club.

On July 18, 2013, Teymourian returned to Esteghlal after signing a three-year contract.

He scored a 40-yard goal in a match against the Thai professional football club Buriram United on August 12, 2014. Esteghlal won the fixture 2-1.

The Iranian footballer put an end to his appearance at the Qatari professional association football team Umm Salal, which plays at the first level Qatar Stars League, in January 2016.

Teymourian parted company with the Doha-based sport club only six months after he signed with Umm Salal on July 7, 2015. The Iranian footballer had 14 appearances in the Qatari side, but scored no goals.

On January 19, 2016, Teymourian signed a six-month deal with Saipa, and left the club in July that year.

After that, he returned to Tabriz and signed a one–year contract with newly promoted Persian Gulf Pro League club Machine Sazi.

Earlier this year, Teymourian joined Sanate Naft Tehran Football Club. He had ten appearances in the Tehran-based club, but could not tack a goal.
