Huesca have signed Shinji Okazaki on a free transfer after the former Leicester City forward left Malaga.
Okazaki had his contract cancelled by mutual consent on Tuesday, just over a month after signing a one-year deal with Malaga.
But the 33-year-old has quickly moved to secure terms at another Segunda Division outfit.
Okazaki, who won the Premier League with Leicester in 2015-16, has signed a one-year contract at Huesca.
The club, sixth in the table after three games, confirmed the contract includes the option for a second season.

Where to Now?
Fernando Torres is hardly the same player he was during his first spell with Atletico Madrid and during four years at Anfield. The veteran striker remains best known for his stint with Liverpool, where he became the fan favourite and established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe.
His move to Chelsea came as a shock to Liverpool supporters who were seen burning his shirt back in 2011. Despite amassing the total of 110 Premier League appearances with the Blues – and winning the UEFA Champions League and Europa League in 2011/12 and 2012.13, respectively, Torres never really managed to live up to the hype and replicate his stunning Liverpool performances.
Once the world-class striker who would use his remarkable pace and vision to get in behind …
Bayern Munich can temper the disappointment of their Champions League exit by winning a record fourth consecutive Bundesliga title against Ingolstadt on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola s final attempt to make Bayern European champions before leaving for Manchester City at the end of the season ended in failure on Tuesday, Atletico Madrid progressing on away goals despite Bayern winning the second leg of their semi-final 2-1.
League success has been more forthcoming for the departing Spaniard, Guardiola on the verge of his third title in a row with two games remaining of the 2015-16 campaign.
Having dropped points in just six games – and conceded only 15 goals – Bayern sit five clear of Borussia Dortmund ahead of their first trip to Ingolstadt.

Verdict: Peru Draw no bet
Best Odds:
Bookmaker:
Following the goalless draw with rivals Denmark, Sweden will want to defeat Peru in their final warm-up game and end a three-match winless run ahead of the start of the 2018 World Cup. La Blanquirroja, on the other hand, have been thoroughly impressive in the build up to the tournament in Russia and they are searching for their sixth successive triumph.
Sweden
While they did well to pip neighbours Denmark to a place at the Euro 2016 finals, Sweden were largely disappointing at what proved the final major tournament for their superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic. However, Blagult fared pretty well in his absence during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, finishing second in their qualifying group before producing a ma…
Neymar has moved past Ronaldinho s tally of Barcelona goals with his strike against Alaves.
After equalling his fellow Brazilian s tally during last month s 4-0 LaLiga victory at Eibar, Neymar s goal after 40 minutes moved him on to 95 strikes for Barca.
Ronaldinho is a Barca icon having won two LaLiga titles and the Champions League in a five-year spell with the club between 2003 and 2008.
Aged just 24 and with a contract until 2021, Neymar will expect to continue climbing a Barca goalscoring list that still has legendary names like Samuel Eto o, Rivaldo and Patrick Kluivert above him.
Leader Lionel Messi represents an unrealistic target, though – he has an astonishing 484 club goals and is still going strong.
Neymar joined Barca from Santos…
Market: Remo win
Odds: 19/20 @
Hoping to skyrocket their way into the top-eight, Remo will welcome Aparecidense to the Estadio Evandro Almeida in the early hours of Tuesday.
Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to losing ways last week as they signed off July with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Figueirense, Remo are hoping to find some recent stability. Losing two of their previous three Serie C showdowns, Rodrigo Santana’s men will certainly be excited by the prospect of making a return to the Estadio Evandro Almeida here. Looking to push themselves into the top-eight in midweek, the Lions have gained a reputation for their extended success on home soil. Last seen in front of their own supporters clinching a 2-1 win against relegation scrappers CSA…
Diego Godin dismissed reports he has re-signed with Atletico Madrid while insisting he had no interest in pursuing offers tabled from other clubs.
Uruguay defender Godin, 32, is believed to have turned down the opportunity to join Manchester United last week.
Juventus have also been linked with the two-time Europa League winner, who is reported to have leveraged the recent transfer to strengthen his hand in contract negotiations.
Godin claims he is yet to put pen to paper on an extension but insists he has no intention of leaving the Wanda Metropolitano.
I have not renewed, he told reporters ahead of the UEFA Super Cup clash with Real Madrid.
I have had offers [from other clubs], although I have decided to stay for personal reasons and I am only…
Seamus Coleman s last-gasp header robbed Swansea City boss Bob Bradley of a first Premier League victory as Everton salvaged a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.
Following their 5-0 thumping at Chelsea prior to the international break, Ronald Koeman s side looked set to slump to a second successive defeat after Gylfi Sigurdsson s first-half penalty had given Swansea the lead.
However, Everton, who spurned three gilt-edged chances in the first-half, finally found the leveller a minute from normal time Coleman s looping header getting the better of Lukasz Fabianski.
The result will leave a bitter taste in the mouth for Bradley, whose side had put in a resilient performance in the hopes of claiming their first league victory since the opening day.
It is now just on…

Debutants Morocco progressed to the the next round after Anissa Lahmari’s first-half strike gave them a 1-0 win over Colombia, who also qualified for the knockout stages.
