Ghana's World Cup defender Hans Sarpei has contracted a two-year deal with last season's Bundesliga runners-up Schalke 04. Schalke coach Felix Magath made public the information Thursday.
"We noticed in the last two games against Aalen (German Cup) and Hamburg (Bundesliga) that we have young talent on the sides, but they are not yet ready," said Magath.
"After the departure of Rafinha, we had to find a player capable of filling the left side or right side of defense," the trainer added.
The experienced German-bred 34-year-old all-rounder has joined from Bayer Leverkusen, in a deal worth €400,000, to bolster the Royal Blues defence.
Sarpei comes with a wealth of experience having played for Duisburg (2000-01), Wolfsburg (2001-07) and Leverkusen (2007-10) making 181 Bundesliga appearances in total.
