Championship side Newcastle United have signed full-back Jesus Gamez from Atletico Madrid on a two-year deal.
"It was the right time to leave Atletico Madrid and this is the right move for me," the 31 year old said.
"We have an exciting project here, to bring Newcastle back to where it belongs, in the Premier League, and I am very happy to be a part of that."
Gamez is Rafa Benitez's fourth new signing this summer as Newcastle look to return to the Premier League.
Benitez said: "He is a very good defender who can play on both sides, left and right.
"He is experienced, I know he has great character and, importantly, he is an excellent professional. I am sure he will give balance to the team."
