Former Liverpool winger Harry Kewell has signed a two-year contract with Turkish champions Galatasaray.
The 29-year-old Australian has been available on a free transfer since he was released by Liverpool in May after five injury-plagued seasons.
"You could say it's a new chapter," Kewell said on his move to Istanbul.
"I wanted to move on and this is the best way. I can't wait to get started, it's just what I'm looking forward to, a new challenge."
Kewell joined Liverpool from Leeds and had been linked with a move to Roma, Spartak Moscow and Portsmouth.
His switch to Galatasaray would end any possibility of Kewell being one of Australia's three over-age players at the Beijing Olympics.
Kewell was sent off playing for Leeds against Galatasaray in the 2000 Uefa Cup semi-final.
And he scored a goal and helped set up another in Australia's 3-1 win over Qatar in June that guaranteed them a place in the second round of Asian qualifying for the 2010 World Cup.
