Getafe sign Yoda!

Getafe have confirmed the signing of Karim Yoda from Romanian side Astra Giurgiu on a two-year deal.

The 25-year-old has spent the majority of his career in Switzerland – first with Sevette and then with Sion, where he used the Force to win the Swiss Cup in 2011.

But after a frustrating season in Romania last time out, the 25-year-old has opted to join the capital club on a free transfer.

Whilst not quite 800 years in training like his namesake, the midfielder has experience in European football and brings hard work and a range of passing that was missing from the Azulones XI last time out.

This is Getafe’s third signing this summer, after bringing in goalkeeper Jona and Colombian midfielder Fredy Hinestroza.
