Vassell played under Eriksson for Manchester City and England
Leicester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has signed striker Darius Vassell until the end of next season.
The 30-year-old, who passed a medical on Wednesday, played under Eriksson at Manchester City and was a free agent after leaving Turkish side Ankaragucu.
Eriksson told BBC Radio Leicester: "He will bring pace, experience and he can score goals. He has been at this level and higher for many years.
"He is only 30 and should be able to play for many more years."
Vassell began his career with Aston Villa and signed for City for £2m in the summer of 2005.
