Woking head coach Kim Grant has made former Yeovil team-mate Abdou El Kholti his first signing.

The French-born 27-year-old, who can play on the left side of defence or midfield, was released by Rushden & Diamonds at the end of last season.

Grant told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "I know the fans have been waiting and it's been a while coming.

"He's a quality player with a lot of skill and the right mental attitude. He's really hungry to start".

Kholti has also played in Switzerland and Morocco as well as for Cambridge, Chester, Weymouth and Grays, and Grant thinks he needs another chance.

"He's had a few bad moves and not been too successful in recent years. That hunger to get his career back on track is very important for me. He can't even wait for the pre-season to start.

"There are going to be more quality players to come in. It might take a couple more weeks to tie them up, but they will be of real quality."
