Career

Zola began his career Newcastle United, and he spent a loan spell at Oldham Athletic before moving to Tranmere Rovers, where problems were discovered with his visa and he was unable to work (i.e. play) until a solution was reached.[1] In May 2005 he was granted a full permit and returned in time for training for the 2005–06 season.

In May 2011, Zola was released from his contract at Crewe Alexandra.[3] and agreed to join Burton on a permanent basis the following month.

On 18 June 2013, Zola signed a two-year deal with Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen.[4] He scored his first goal for Aberdeen on 14 September 2013, in a 3–0 win against Partick Thistle.[5] Zola had his contract cancelled by Aberdeen after the 2013–14 season, during which he had scored three goals.[6]

Zola joined Stevenage on 20 June 2014 following his release from Aberdeen.[7]
