Mandanda made 443 appearances for Marseille during his nine seasons at Stade Velodrome, where he won one league title and three French League Cups.

He was named Ligue 1's Goalkeeper of the Year last season.

Parish added: "Mandanda brings a wealth of experience at both club and international level to us, and boasts a proven track record when it comes to winning trophies."
