Excelsior has brought back Khalid Karami after a transfer adventure. The defender has signed a contract until mid-2018 with the Rotterdam team.

What happened?

Karami left Excelsior earlier this summer as a free transfer to try his luck elsewhere. He had interest from many clubs, but it all took too long and he didn't want to wait any longer.

Why is Karami returning?

My preference was for a bigger club in the Netherlands, but I didn't want to wait any longer, said Karami. His return to Excelsior doesn't feel like a disappointment.

What's next?

Karami will give 200 percent for the club from tomorrow. Excelsior currently stands 13th in the Eredivisie with 38 points from 34 games. | Competition | Points | | --- | --- | | Eredivisie | 38 |
