Málaga CF have confirmed on their official website the signing of Seville-born left back José Casado until the 2014/15 season, with the possibility of extending the deal for three more seasons.

The defender, who is currently in the final phase of recovery from a cruciate ligament rupture in his right knee, arrives at the side from Andalusia after plying his trade with Madrid side Rayo Vallecano for the past three seasons, where he clocked up 28 appearances in the last campaign.

The player, who has more than 100 Liga BBVA appearances under his belt, will be presented before the press on Monday 30th of September at the Estadio La Rosaleda. Casado started his career at the Sevilla FC academy, where he played a few games for the first team, moving on to RC Recreativo de Huelva, Xerez CD, before finally arriving at Rayo.
