Former two-time World Player of the Year Ronaldinho Gaucho has signed an 17-month contact with Fluminense, the club said on Saturday.

He joined the Rio de Janeiro squad after terminating his contract with Mexican club Queretaro, where he spent almost a year.

The 35-year old, who previously played in Brazil for Gremio, Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro, said he was coming home to try to win Brazil's Serie A, one of the few medals missing from his trophy cabinet.
