Soccer-Hasselbaink teams up with Fowler at Cardiff

LONDON, Aug 16 - Former Dutch international
striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has joined Cardiff City, the
second division team said on Thursday.

The 35-year-old has been without a club since he was
released by Charlton Athletic at the end of last season.

Hasselbaink will link up with former England striker Robbie
Fowler, who joined the Welsh side in July following his release
by Liverpool.

"I do not think anyone would have believed going into the
close season it would be possible to get players like them,"
chairman Peter Ridsdale told the club's Web site
(www.cardiffcityfc.premiumtv.co.uk).

Former Chelsea, Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Atletico
Madrid player Hasselbaink won 23 caps for his country.
