Djibril Cisse has come out of retirement to sign a short-term contract with Swiss side Yverdon Sport.

The 35-year-old has not played football since a short stint at Saint-Pierroise in 2015 and officially hung up his boots in February to focus on a career as a DJ and music producer.

Yverdon Sport have been looking to strengthen their squad after winning promotion to the 1. Liga Promotion – the third tier of Swiss football – last season.
