Joleon Lescott walked into a bizarre situation on Friday when Spanish fourth-tier side Racing Murcia announced his signing – despite the central defender having retired in 2017.

Lescott, the former England international who is a loans manager at Manchester City, is understood to have agreed to turn out in an exhibition match next month, only to find out Racing plan on him starring in the Copa del Rey.

The minnows host LaLiga strugglers Levante in an attractive first-round clash on December 16 and claimed on Friday that they want the 38-year-old to feature. 

Ex-Everton defender Joleon Lescott, 38, has signed for fourth-tier Spanish side Racing Murcia

‘Our president Morris Pagniello and Racing Murcia are happy to announce the signing of English star Joleon Lescott,’ Racing said.

‘This first and historic signing allows the Racing Murcia project to be known internationally and to give relevance to a squad practically made up of players from the city of Murcia and the towns of the region.’

Pagniello was banned from football for eight months in 2015 for alleged involvement in match-fixing while at Monza in Italy.

The club president also claimed earlier this month that there was a ’50-50′ chance of landing Samuel Eto’o, while he also claims to be representing former City striker Mario Balotelli.

Whether Lescott, who has an acquaintance at Racing, now presses ahead and makes himself available for the cup match remains to be seen.

Lescott last appeared three-and-a-half years ago as Sunderland lost 5-1 against Chelsea. 

Racing – a club without a Wikipedia page – currently lie seventh out of 11 teams in Group 13 Group 3 on the fourth step of Spanish football’s pyramid following a 4-0 victory over Lorca in their first win of the season.  

Racing play local rivals Ciudad de Murcia on December 13 and will then host Levante in the Copa del Rey first round at Nueva Condomina on December 16.
