    Senegal international striker El-Hadji Diouf has joined Doncaster Rovers on a three-month deal, subject to clearance.
    The 30-year-old, who was released by Blackburn in the summer, has joined the Championship club after talks with boss Dean Saunders.
    The two-time African Footballer of the Year previously played for Liverpool, Bolton, Sunderland and Rangers.

    Diouf told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I'm going to do everything I can to help the team be successful."

    Rovers are joint bottom of the Championship table with only nine points from 14 games.

    "I love challenges. I went to Bolton and Rangers when people would not have expected me to do so," added Diouf, who said he had been training with both Wigan Athletic and West Ham United.

    "One of my best friends in football is Pascal Chimbonda and he is here and I know a lot of the other players.

    "It is not about money. If I wanted that then I could have gone to Russia or maybe the middle east but I don't want to do that yet. I am only 30 and I have at least three years left at the Championship or Premier League level."

    Diouf has scored 21 international goals in 69 appearances and will help cover Doncaster's current shortage of strikers.

    James Hayter was the only recognised centre-forward in the squad for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Coventry.

    Billy Sharp missed the game due to a family problem, Chris Brown is only just returning from a knee injury and Jon Parkin has returned to Cardiff following his loan at the Keepmoat Stadium.
    Diouf is the latest high-profile player to join Rovers.

    Former England goalkeeper Chris Kirkland signed on-loan from Wigan earlier in October - but only lasted a week after getting injured.
    They also signed ex-Tottenham and Blackburn defender Chimbonda in September and have taken Herita Ilunga on a three-month loan deal from West Ham.
    Saunders has defended the club's transfer strategy and insists he is unfazed by Diouf's reputation.<doh>
