Spanish club Malaga has reinforced its defense with Netherlands international Joris Mathijsen.
Malaga announced late on Thursday it had reached a transfer deal with German club Hamburg for the defender.
The club said Mathijsen has signed a contract for two years.
Mathijsen joins Spain defender Nacho Monreal and former Hamburg striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who have also signed with the Andalusian team this summer.
