Former Birmingham City striker Cameron Jerome will be hunting for a new team to play for this summer after his contract was not renewed at his club.
Jerome was playing for Bolton Wanderers this season and the Trotters on Wednesday (May 22) confirmed their retained list, announcing that the experienced striker would be leaving the Toughsheet Community Stadium. He is leaving Blues’ League One rivals along with Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Declan John.
The 37-year-old has spent the last 18 months of his career at Bolton Wanderers, helping them to EFL Trophy success in 2023. He scored a total of four goals in 55 games after being brought to the club by Ian Evatt.
In a message to the forward, as well as the two others leaving with him, Bolton said: “Wanderers would like to express their thanks and appreciation for the efforts and commitment of all those leaving the club this summer and wish them well in their future careers.”
Jerome has had a 20-year playing career which began at Cardiff City in 2004. He scored an impressive 18 goals in 44 games in 2005/06 and that caught the eye of Birmingham City who signed him for a reported £3m.
The 10-time England under-21 international spent six years as a player at St Andrew’s, twice helping them to promotion.
He left for Stoke City in 2011 and played a further five years in the Premier League, featuring for the Potters as well as Crystal Palace and Norwich City.
Since 2017, he’s been floating around the Championship with Derby County before a two-year spell with Goztepe in Turkey, but then he returned to England to join MK Dons and last season played for Luton Town in the first part of a campaign which saw them promoted to the Premier League.
