Kerala Blasters have signed Irish goalkeeper and former Arsenal star Graham Stack for the upcoming ISL season.

The 34-year-old played the last four European football seasons with English side Barnet but left the League Two outfit last week. He has now put pen to paper on a deal with the Blasters.

Stack becomes the third English-league based goalkeeper to play for the Blasters after David James (2014 season) and Stephen Bywater (2015 season).

Veteran defender and Northern Ireland international Aaron Hughes had joined the Blasters as their marquee player last week.

Stack was Arsenal's League Cup goalkeeper during the 2003-04 season where they went on to win the Premier League unbeaten, earning the title The Invincibles.

The Irishman, who has also played for Millwall, Leeds United and Hibernian, has been a backup goalkeeper for the best part of his career.
