The 33-year-old has penned a two-year deal with the Liga outfit.

Zaragoza will be the keeper's fourth Spanish club, having spent time with Mallorca, Atletico Madrid and Merida.

Franco has played more than 300 top flight games in Spain and represented his country at the 2006 World Cup.

He is expected to compete with fellow new signing Toni Doblas for the number one jersey at La Romareda next season.

Doblas has returned to the club on a two-year contract following a spell at second division Huesca, but is likely to be on the bench next season.
