Football may have shut down in England, Germany, France, Spain, and most of Europe, but in Turkey they are still playing on.

Even just yesterday, there was a game in the Turkish Super Lig as Goztepe took on Rizespor.

There was a familiar name leading the line for Goztepe, Cameron Jerome.

Jerome played all 90 minutes for Goztepe as his side won 2-0 at home on Tuesday.

The match was played behind closed doors without supporters.

The 33-year-old is in his first season in Turkey since signing for Goztepe as a free agent in 2018.

The former England under-21 international has three goals in 21 games, and despite this low tally remains a regular for a side flying as high as eighth in the Super Lig after 26 games.

Jerome’s last involvement in English football was for Derby County where he scored six goals in 2017/18.

He has also  played for Stoke, Cardiff, Middlesbrough, Norwich, Birmingham and Crystal  Palace during his career in English football.
