Athletic Bilbao have signed Valencia striker Aritz Aduriz for an undisclosed fee.

The 31-year-old, who has one international cap, has signed a three-year contract with the Basque side which will keep him at San Mames until 2015.

The transfer feel has not been revealed by either club, but reports suggest that Aduriz has cost Athletic about 2.5 million euros.

He joined Valencia from Mallorca in 2010 in a 4m euros deal but failed to impress at Mestalla, scoring 21 goals in 82 appearances.

The Spanish striker will now return to Athletic for a third spell after previously playing for the club in 2002-03 and again between 2006 and 2008.
