Brann announced on its official website on Monday that Rangers' Wales international winger Rabbi Matondo has joined the club on a free transfer.

According to the Norwegian Eliteserien club's official statement, Matondo signed a short-term eight-month deal with the club which will only run until the end of this winter.

After completing his joining procedures, Matondo, who was interviewed by the Brann official website for the first time, said: "When Brann showed interest in me, I felt the timing was right. This season has been tough, so I just want to get back on the pitch."
