Everton have announced the signing of 39-year-old American goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann.Hahnemann, released by Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of last season, has signed a contract until January at Goodison Park and will provide cover for compatriot Tim Howard and Slovak Jรกn Mucha.
David Moyes said at a press conference earlier today: "It is difficult when you only have two senior goalkeepers - it only needs one of them to go down and then you are in trouble.
"Marcus is friends with Tim (Howard). It is after the transfer window has closed and we had to look for someone who we knew. I would have liked to have got somebody before the window closed if we could, but there were other priorities at the time.
"It gives me someone who can help in the reserves and if we get an injury to a goalkeeper, he has got good experience of the Premier League and we can use him as a back-up."
Hahnemann, who has previously played in England for Fulham, Rochdale, Reading and Wolves, will wear the number 12 shirt at Goodison.
