The former France international still had 12 months to run on his contract with AS Monaco but was released by the Ligue 2 outfit earlier this month
The 36-year-old has returned to the French top flight for the 2012/2013 season, after Les Merlus snapped him up following his release from the principality side.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 man dropped down to Ligue 2 last summer to sign for Monaco but failed to cement a place in the starting eleven following the appointment of Claudio Ranieri at the helm.
After successfully completing his medical on Tuesday, the 36-year-old signed a one-year-contract with Christian Gourcuff’s side.
Lorient president, Loic Fery, has expressed his delight at the capture of the veteran attacking midfielder. While talking to reporters, the president praised his new signing and is expecting big things from Giuly next season.
Fery stated that the 36-year-old has played for some of the best clubs in Europe and his experience will be vital for Le FCL in the up-coming season.
"He fits the profile of player we wanted, he has played for big clubs, and he will give us the experience and character that we were lacking last year,” Loic Fery told reporters.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ludovic-Giuly-c22617 is delighted with the latest move in his career and is relishing the prospect of playing in the Ligue 1 again.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international feels that Lorient’s style of play will suit him, and is excited to be playing for Christian Gourcuff, whom he admires a lot.
"I am very happy to arrive at FC Lorient. This is a club that suits me because there is a lot of enjoyment in their play, something that has been installed in them by their great coach, Christian Gourcuff.”
Giuly is aware of the expectations coaches and players will have from him and is looking forward to help his new side in the up-coming season.
"I know that they are counting on me on the field and in the dressing room, and I will give everything to have a great adventure with FCL."
