Former Newcastle defender Massadio Haidara has joined French side RC Lens on a three-year deal.
The left-back was released by Newcastle this summer after making just 54 appearances in five-and-a-half years at St James' Park.
Haidara struggled with injuries in recent years and played just five times in the past two seasons under Rafael Benitez.
The 25-year-old was not offered a new deal by the Magpies and will try and rebuild his career in Ligue 2.
