As expected, Napoli have officially signed goalkeeper Toni Doblas as a short-term replacement for Rafael Cabral.

The former Real Betis, Zaragoza and Xerez goalkeeper put pen to paper on a contract until June 30 2014.

Under Italian rules, clubs can only sign players out of contract outside of the designated transfer windows.

The 33-year-old was available after he was released by Azebaijan Premier League side Khazar over the summer.

Napoli needed a new goalkeeper, as Rafael underwent surgery for ruptured knee ligaments and will be out for six months.
