Japanese icon Kazuyoshi Miura has joined Portuguese side Oliveirense on loan from parent club Yokohama - just weeks before his 56th birthday.
Miura, 55, is in his fifth decade as a professional player after starting his career with Brazilian side Santos in 1986. He has struggled for minutes at Yokohama this season but has no plans to retire and is set for a spell in Portugal's second tier.
Miura, who wants to continue playing until he is 60, has promised Oliveirense fans he will "work hard" in their bid for promotion. It is the veteran's first spell in Portugal after previously showcasing his talents in Brazil, Croatia, Australia and, of course, Japan.
