Martin Demichelis has returned to Malaga on a deal for the rest of the season.

The former Manchester City defender goes back to La Rosaleda for a second spell, having played for the club between 2011 and 2013 after joining from Bayern Munich.

The 36-year-old was available as a free agent after leaving Espanyol earlier this month.

A Malaga statement read: "Centre-back Martin Demichelis will play in Malaga for the rest of the 2016/17 season.

"The Argentinian, who has a wealth of experience among the elite of European football, will be having his second stint with the club, where he has played more than 100 games in La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League."

Demichelis, who has won 51 caps for Argentina, spent three years at City before being released last summer.
