El-Hadji Diouf signs for Doncaster Rovers
Senegal international striker El-Hadji Diouf has joined Doncaster Rovers on a three-month deal, subject to clearance.
The 30-year-old, who was released by Blackburn in the summer, has joined the Championship club after talks with boss Dean Saunders.
The two-time African Footballer of the Year previously played for Liverpool, Bolton, Sunderland and Rangers.
Diouf has scored 21 international goals in 69 appearances and will help cover Rovers' current shortage of strikers.
James Hayter was the only recognised centre-forward in the squad for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Coventry.
Billy Sharp missed the game due to a family problem, Chris Brown is only just returning from a knee injury and Jon Parkin has returned to Cardiff following his loan at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Diouf, who has courted controversy throughout his career in England, joined Liverpool from Lens in 2002.
He moved to Bolton in 2005, making 88 appearances at the Reebok Stadium, before switching to Sunderland's Stadium of Light a year later.
Diouf then joined Blackburn under Sam Allardyce's management in 2009 before finishing last season on loan at Rangers.
He picked up a league title winner's medal while in Scotland but upset a lot of Celtic fans along the way, most notably when he was sent off after the final whistle in Rangers' Scottish Cup defeat at Parkhead in March.
