Rayo Vallecano make double swoop

Rayo Vallecano have confirmed the signings of Antonio Amaya and Derek Boateng ahead of the new season.

Centre-back Amaya, 31, has returned to the club where he started his career on a two-year deal following two seasons at Real Betis.

Boateng, who joins from Fulham, has signed a one-year contract at the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas.

The 31-year-old striker leaves Craven Cottage after one season having only played five matches for the Cottagers.
