Ziege finds new club

Germany defender Christian Ziege has joined Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach on a two-year deal.

The 32-year-old left-sided player, who has been looking for a new club after failing to get a new deal at Tottenham, is Gladbach's fifth new signing for the coming season as they attempt to form a team capable of challenging for Europe.

"I'm delighted that Christian Ziege has decided to join us," beamed Foals' sports director Christian Hochstatter.

"He is an additional left-sided player, whose skill and experience will help improve our squad."

Ziege returns to Germany after a five-year stint in The Premiership at Middlesbrough, Liverpool and Tottenham, having previously starred for both Bayern Munich and Milan.

The experienced defender was a controversial late entry to Rudi Voller's Euro 2004 squad when Christian Rahn of Hamburg withdrew through injury.
