EVERTON HAVE SIGNED midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger on a short-term deal until January.
The former German international left Wolfsburg in the summer and has been without a club since, having played only two league matches last season before suffering a knee injury.
Hitzlsperger signed for the Goodison Park club before midday on Friday, meaning he is available for Sunday’s Premier League clash against QPR at Loftus Road.
The 30-year-old, who has previously played for both Aston Villa and West Ham, had been training with David Moyes’ side in recent weeks and played an under-21 match on October 8th in a bid to prove his fitness.
The signing of Hitzlsperger comes at a handy time for Moyes.
Marouane Fellaini will miss the next three weeks with a knee injury, while Darron Gibson is also out with a thigh injury.
