SYDNEY, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Former England striker Stan Collymore is considering a move to join Australian A-League team the Newcastle Jets on a four-match contract, the Sydney Telegraph reported on Tuesday.

 

 

The 35-year-old Collymore retired five years ago following spells with Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Leicester City and Spanish club Real Oviedo.

 

 

'His management have told me that he is definitely interested in doing something in Australia because he has seen what Dwight Yorke has done here,' Jets director of football Remo Nogarotto told the paper.

 

Yorke, the Trinidad & Tobago and former Manchester United striker, recently returned to England with Sunderland after a successful spell with Sydney.

 

'We have expressed interest in him and we've expressed interest to his management but we are a long way short of finalising anything at the moment,' Nogarotto said.

 

Collymore, who appeared last year with actress Sharon Stone in the film Basic Instinct II, won three England caps.

 

He has been no stranger to controversy off the pitch, admitting to punching his former girlfriend Ulrika Jonsson, the British TV celebrity, in 1998 and suffering bouts of depression.

 

Meanwhile, Sydney have been linked with a move for 35-year-old Italian forward Benito Carbone, and Adelaide United are reportedly considering a bid to sign 40-year-old former Brazil striker Romario on a short-term contract.
