DONE DEAL: Ex-Newcastle wing-back Aarons joins Slovenia's NK Celje

Former Newcastle United winger Rolando Aarons has finally found a new team.

The ex-Magpies and Huddersfield attacker has joined Slovenian league leaders NK Celje.

The 28-year-old had been without a team for the past six months, but had a successful trial.

Upon signing for the club, Aarons stated: "I am happy that I got the opportunity to become a part of Celje after passing the trial period.

"The team is of high quality, and I want to contribute everything I can.

"When I received the offer, I had to do some research, but after the first few training sessions, I realized that the league table reflects the quality.

"I also watched two matches and believe that Celje is what I currently need as the next step in my career.

"I have arrived at the right time, as the winter preparation period gives me a chance to make up for the half-season I didn't play.

"I want to return to the level I have already shown. With my performances, I want to help the club win titles and play in Europe."
