Fulham boss Lawrie Sanchez has bolstered his goalkeeping options after signing Kasey Keller from Borussia Monchengladbach.
The 37-year-old American has been drafted in by the Cottagers to provide back-up for Tony Warner in the continued absence of regular number one Antti Niemi with a wrist injury.
Keller has previously played in the Premier League for Tottenham and Leicester City and was available after losing his place at the German Bundesliga club towards the end of last season.
The US international made 99 appearances for Spurs during four years at White Hart Lane.
"I'm delighted that Kasey has joined us and I'm sure that he'll be a great addition to the squad," said manager Lawrie Sanchez.
"With Antti being injured, it was important we added some strength and depth.
"Kasey is a proven professional and he will be a valuable asset to us over the course of the season."
Keller added: "It's fantastic to be back in the Premiership after a couple of years.
"I am really enthusiastic about this new challenge."
