Stan Collymore has completed his move from Bradford to Spanish club Real Oviedo today.

The 30-year-old has agreed an 18-month contract with the Primera Liga outfit and will be introduced at a news conference tonight after undergoing a medical.

Bradford chairman Geoffrey Richmond agreed to let the controversial striker go for free in an attempt to cut his club's wage bill.

Collymore has beaten today's Spanish transfer deadline with Oviedo, coached by former Luton midfielder Raddy Antic. They are 13th in their league.

An Oviedo spokesman said: "Collymore has signed for this season and next. He will arrive in Oviedo this morning from Madrid and will be presented to the media at 7 p.m." PA
