The 32-year-old midfielder brings a wealth of experience, having earned 23 caps for his country and won league titles in in four countries, with Chelsea, Celtic, Sparta Prague and CSKA Moscow.

Aside from Jarosik, who joins from Krylya Sovetov Samara, Zaragoza have also brought in Eliseu and Humberto Suazo this month as they seek to climb away from the Primera Division relegation zone.

Promoted Zaragoza are currently 19th in the standings, two points adrift of Tenerife and safety ahead of this weekend's home clash with bottom club Xerez.
