Cristian Gamboa has signed for German side VFL Bochum.

The former Celtic defender was released by the Hoops in the summer and has been on the lookout for a new club since.

Costa Rican right-back Gamboa, 29, was linked with moves to Denmark with FC Copenhagen and the English lower leagues after his three-year spell in Glasgow.

However he has officially made the switch to Bundesliga 2 side Bochum.

Gamboa played 31 times for Celtic after he was signed by Brendan Rodgers in 2016.
