Liverpool’s Cavalieri joins Cesena

Liverpool goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri has completed his move to Serie A newcomers Cesena, the English Premier League club announced Monday.

The Brazilian was signed by former Reds manager Rafael Benitez from Palmeiras in July 2008.

However, he was never more than back-up to first-choice Jose Reina and made just 10 appearances for the first team.

The arrival last week of Middlesbrough’s Brad Jones, who qualifies as a ‘home-grown’ player despite being an Australia international, effectively signalled the end of Cavalieri’s Anfield career.

Liverpool have confirmed Jones will take over the number one shirt vacated by Cavalieri.
