The 32-year-old defender returned to the Finnish top-flight after brief spells in the Swedish Allsvenskan and Swiss Super League

Rovaniemi Palloseura have confirmed the signing of Taye Taiwo on a one-year deal.

The Nigeria international who played for Finnish club HJK Helsinki in the 2015 and 2016 seasons, has teamed up with the Keskuskentta outfit ahead of the commencement of the 2018 Veikkausliiga campaign that starts on April 7.

After departing the Finnish top-flight in January 2017, the former Marseille left-back joined Swiss Super League side Lausanne as a free agent that saw him garnered just 13 league appearances before the end of the 2016-17 season.
