Everton have signed veteran American goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann on a short-term contract until January.[LNB] Hahnemann has signed a contract with the Toffees until January after being released by Wolves in the summer.[LNB]The 39-year-old - holder of nine caps for the United States - will provide back-up at Goodison Park to compatriot Tim Howard and Jan Mucha.[LNB]Everton boss David Moyes said: "It is difficult when you only have two senior goalkeepers - it only needs one of them to go down and then you are in trouble.[LNB]"Marcus is friends with Tim. It is after the transfer window has closed and we had to look for someone who we knew.[LNB]"I would have liked to have got somebody before the window closed if we could, but there were other priorities at the time.[LNB]"It gives me someone who can help in the reserves and if we get an injury to a goalkeeper, he has got good experience of the Premier League and we can use him as back-up."[LNB]Hahnemann arrives at Everton following a two-year spell at Molineux and he previously played in the Premier League with Reading.
