Brighton & Hove Albion have confirmed the signing of striker Bobby Zamora.

The 34-year-old has returned to his former club on a one-year contract after being released by Queens Park Rangers in May.

Zamora played for Albion between 2000 and 2003 and scored 83 goals for the Seagulls before joining Tottenham Hotspur.

"We are absolutely delighted to have brought Bobby back to Brighton," Brighton manager Chris Hughton told the club's official website. "He needs absolutely no introduction here. The Albion fans know everything about him, from his achievements in a Brighton shirt and right through his time with Spurs, West Ham, Fulham and QPR.

"I also know Bobby well, having worked with him during his time at Spurs, and he is a great professional; I know he will bring plenty of experience to the team, having played Premier League, European and international football.

"He will also bring a lot in terms of character to the club and to the dressing room - but most importantly, having played more than 30 times for QPR last season, he brings top quality to our offensive options. We still have work to do in terms of adding to the squad, including those offensive options, in terms of creating and scoring goals."

Zamora scored twice for QPR in the Premier League last season.
