LONDON (AP) -- Greece captain Giorgos Karagounis has joined Premier League club Fulham until the end of the season.

The 35-year-old midfielder was able to sign outside of the transfer window because he's been a free agent since being released by Panathinaikos earlier this year.

Fulham manager Martin Jol says Karagounis "has a wealth of club and international experience.''
