Olympiakos move for Meidanis

Olympiakos Nicosia FC have signed central defender Demetris Meidanis from the Greek club Egaleo FC on a one-year contract.

Seventh player signed
The 29-year-old, who played 102 games in five seasons for Egaleo, has struggled to break into the first team this year as the Athens club finished an impressive fifth in the Hellenic Alpha Ethniki. He becomes the seventh player to sign for Olympiakos this summer following the arrivals of Edward Kangwa, Zenzo Moyo, Panicos Spyrou, Georgi Koridze, Georgos Peklis and goalkeeper Tassos Yiallouris.

Eager for improvement
The Nicosia club are one of the Cypriot First Division's biggest spenders thanks to the wealth of local businessman and club president Christophoros Tornarites. He and Olympiakos are keen to improve on last season's disappointing tenth position, a fall of six places from their 2002/03 campaign.
