Cardiff City have confirmed the signing of Morocco international Marouane Chamakh, subject to international clearance.

The deal, which runs until January, reunites Chamakh with former boss Neil Warnock, who managed him at Crystal Palace.

Former Arsenal striker Chamakh has been looking for a club since his release from Crystal Palace at the end of last season.

The 32-year-old had spent the last three seasons at Selhurst Park but managed only seven goals in 59 Premier League appearances.
