Former Portugal international Luis Boa Morte has signed for South African champions Orlando Pirates where he will join former West Ham United team mate Benni McCarthy in attack.
The club on Tuesday announced an 18-month deal with the 34-year-old.
Boa Morte left financially-strapped Greek club Larissa after just six months in December.
Now 34, he played at Portugal's Sporting before embarking on a 14-year career in England in 1997 when he joined Arsenal. He also played at Southampton, Fulham and West Ham.
Pirates play in the upcoming African Champions League but Boa Morte's signing is too late for him to be registered for the competition. The second half of the South African season commences on Feb. 15.

the man was a nightmare at west ham.,could not trap the ball.never seen any think like it, not a west ham player . what would bobby say.
please never come back
as long as he does not come back
A belated Christmas present for every Hammers fan!!!
the further the way the better
i did not rate Boa Morte while at West Han but wish him well in SA
Pies, pies, and more pies. Must be a great feeling to see these two waddle out to play against you as WH found out to our cost on and off the field.!
Lol, if they are the Champions, I dread to think, no disrespect, what the other teams are like. If you mentioned in a pub that McCarthy and Boa Morte were playing up front together the rum, me hearties, would go right through them. Apparently, the Chuckle Brothers have been signed up to play for the team in second place. COYI
Wowweeee what a devastating attack! Playing for the pirates is about right with this pair, their game is criminal!
