Cech has signed for Guildford Phoenix in the British Second League, something he has long dreamed of.

- I am very happy to have the opportunity to play with Phoenix so I can get the experience of matches. I hope I can help this young team reach their goals and win as many matches as possible. After 20 years of professional football, it will be fantastic to practice the sport I loved to watch and play as a youngster, the goalkeeper tells the club's website.

Head coach Andy Hemmings is pleased with the recruitment of Cech who is still working as a technical advisor to Chelsea.

- The acquisition of Petr is huge for Phoenix. He is a lovely guy who trains hard and I look forward to seeing him debut.

The 37-year-old will be the third goal keeper and train with the team when his schedule allows.
