Bent has scored over 200 goals in a storied career which has seen him lead the line at clubs like Spurs, Aston Villa and Sunderland.
The 34-year-old made 13 appearances for England and found the net on four occasions for the national team.
Bent recently found himself embroiled in something of a war of words with ex-Derby boss Paul Clement.

It'll certainly make for interesting viewing if Reading and Burton Albion are drawn against one another in a cup this season.Sport
