Rudi Skacel rejoins Slavia Prague until the end of the season

Rudi Skacel has rejoined Slavia Prague on a deal until the end of the season.

The Czech forward, who left Dundee United at the end of a short-term contract in January, returns to the Eden Arena to turn out for the club for the third time in his career.

Skacel made 16 appearances for the Terrors, scoring once, having joined them in October.

Previously, the 33-year-old lifted the Scottish Cup to end his second spell with Hearts, in which he played 69 times, scoring 31. He made a total of 109 appearances across his career with the Gorgie club, netting 48 times.

"I have been in contact with Slavia for a long time," Skacel told the club's official website. "But now it's has all happened at relatively short notice.

"I did have other options, but I decided to come to Slavia. I would like to help Slavia, I think I owe them."
