Stipe Pletikosa, long-standing Croatia's goalkeeper, joined Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna until the end of the season.

On Monday, former Croatia goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa signed for Spanish top-tier side Deportivo La Coruna, following a successful medical.

Pletikosa joined until the end of the current season, with an option to extend his contract for another year.

36-year-old Croatian goalie started his career with Hajduk Split, and then continued with Shakhtar Donetsk, Spartak Moscow, Tottenham Hotspur, and finally FC Rostov, leaving six months ago.

"Deportivo is a club of rich history and excellent players. I had no doubts about coming here, and I come in good shape. In December, I was working with my coaches and I'll need some time to get into the rhthym, but speaking from experience, not too much time", said Pletikosa.

Pletikosa has 114 caps, including appearances at major tournaments. He retired from Croatia jersey after the FIFA 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
