Former Arsenal star Alexander Hleb is extending his playing career.

He has rejoined BATE Borisov for a fifth time.

Hleb, who played for Arsenal for three years between 2005 and 2008, will be 37 in May.

He first joined the Belarusian Premier League champions in 1998 as a youngster after starting his career at Dinamo-Juni Minsk.

Hleb said: "This season will be the final for me in my career. I really want to finish it on a beautiful note: to win national trophies with BATE, get into the group stage of the Champions League and help the team."
