Ghana midfielder Anthony Annan has completed a free agent move to FC Beitar Jerusalem for the remainder of the 2018/19 season.

The Israeli Premier League giants however have an option to keep the Ghana international further for a full season in the summer.

The 32 year old became a free agent after ending his three-year stay with Finnish champions HJK Helsinki at the end of last term.

The former Hearts of Oak ace was linked with several clubs in Sweden and Finland during the winter transfer window but a deal could not materialized.

Annan is expected to use his experience to help Nir Klinger's side achieve their European football competition target should he pen a deal.

He amassed 67 caps for Ghana's senior national team and scored two goals.
