After a six-month hiatus from football, former Cote d'Ivoire captain Yaya Toure has found a new home with Qingdao Huanghai, a second-tier Chinese club.

At 36, Toure had been without a club since his contract was terminated by Greek giants Olympiakos in December 2018.

Earlier this year, Toure was forced to deny retirement rumors in May, but it appears he's still got some football left in him.

During his eight-year stint with the Ivory Coast national team, Toure enjoyed a trophy-laden career, and it's likely he's hoping to add to his collection with Qingdao Huanghai.
