Branko Timotic will be Hamrun Spartans' third foreign player next season after agreeing terms on a one-year contract.

For the 26-year-old defender, this will be his second successive year with the Spartans after helping them win promotion to the Premier League in 2006/07.

Timotic had started his pre-season with the Spartans three weeks ago. But a decision had been delayed as the club was looking at other options, including signing a Bulgarian midfielder who was on trial.

However, new coach Marco Gerada preferred Timotic in the team to complete his foreign line-up that also includes Nigerians Precious Monye and Alfred Effiong.
