Liverpool have confirmed the transfer of full-back Steve Finnan to Espanyol.
|
The Republic of Ireland international has put pen to paper on a two-year contract with the La Liga outfit.
A Liverpool spokesman said: "The necessary paperwork for the transfer of Steve Finnan to Espanyol has now been completed."
Finnan brings to an end a five-year association with Liverpool having been signed by Gerard Houllier on a free transfer from Fulham in the summer of 2003.
He was a model of consistency at right back and was an unsung hero amongst the supporters.
Finnan started in the incredible 2005 Champions League win over AC Milan in Istanbul and played the first 45 minutes before he had to leave the field through injury.
He won an FA Cup winners medal the following year as the Reds beat West Ham United in Cardiff.
He made 216 appearances for Liverpool and scored one goal against West Bromwich Albion.
