Westerveld agrees four-month deal

Former Liverpool shot-stopper Sander Westerveld has joined Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam on a four-month deal. Westerveld was a free agent after failing to win a new contract at Spanish side Almeria earlier this summer. His signing comes as Sparta look to bolster their goalkeeping options following reserve Cor Varkevisser's failure to impress so far this season. A number of other clubs were also believed to be chasing Westerveld, but Sparta have won the race for his services.
