The 29-year-old left former club Valencia on mutual consent and Hoffenheim coach Ralf Rangnick told Bild on Wednesday that the guardian signed for the club until 2010.
The former Stuttgart keeper has endured a tough spell since joining Valencia in 2007, where he failed to establish himself as a regular starter.
