By Kieran Gill Anton Ferdinand has signed for Police United in the Thai Premier League in a bid to revive his career, and says Muangthong United's Jay Bothroyd convinced him to make the switch. Ferdinand had a sorry time in the Turkish Super Lig last season, making just three appearances for Antalyaspor as they were relegated and six on loan to Bursaspor. The 29-year-old's career has stalled since leaving QPR in August 2013 after they were relegated to the Championship, but Ferdinand hopes to follow Bothroyd's lead and seize his chance in Thailand.
