One of the newcomers to the Italian Serie A – Frosinone, signed a contract with the Bulgarian football player Aleksandar Tonev.

The 25-year-old winger, who signed a one-year contract with an option for a further extension by another year, passed medical examinations in Rome on Wednesday.

Tonev started his career at CSKA Sofia, where he scored four goals in 42 games before moving to Poland.

There the Bulgarian scored seven goals in 54 games for Lech Poznan before moving to the UK, where he played for Aston Villa and was loaned to Celtic.

Tonev has also scored three goals in 17 appearances for the Bulgarian men's national football team.

He will be the second Bulgarian to play in the new season of the top Italian football league, as fellow national Ivaylo Chochev competes for Palermo.
