Veteran striker Jan Koller has left Russian club Krylya Sovetov Samara to join French third division side AS Cannes.

The 36-year-old former Czech Republic international signed a 1 1/2-year contract on Monday, with the player's agent Pavel Paska saying Cannes should be the final foreign club of Koller's career.

Koller previously played in France's Ligue 1 for Monaco before moving to FC Nuremberg in January 2008. After half a season there, he moved to Krylya.

Koller played for Borussia Dortmund in Germany from 2001 to 2006, winning the Bundesliga title in 2002, while his other clubs include Sparta Prague and Belgian teams Lokeren and Anderlecht.

The 2.02 meter (6 foot 7.5 inch) striker, who has retired from international football, is his country's all-time leading scorer with 55 goals.
