Jason Hatcher signs with Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins confirm that former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Jason Hatcher has joined the club.

The Washington Redskins have announced they have signed free agent defensive tackle Jason Hatcher.

The 31-year-old was on the market after the Dallas Cowboys didn't sign him to a new deal, despite an 11-sack 2013 campaign.

Washington have secured Hatcher on a reported four-year deal worth $27.5m (£16.5m), which will keep him at the club until the conclusion of the 2017 season.

Hatcher told KRLD-FM: "[The Cowboys] didn't show no signs that they wanted me back. I know the fans are upset. They should be.

"They have all the right in the world to be. But I made the right decision for me.

"If we could've made it work out, we would've, but I'm in a great place with the Redskins, a great organisation. I'm looking forward to getting back to football."

Hatcher had been with the Cowboys since the 2006 season.
