Former Hammer joins Kilmarnock
The 32-year-old joined the Rugby Park team on trial this week after being rejected Premiership rivals St Johnstone.
He has been without a club since ending his second stint with Bordeaux last summer.
“The manager has just arrived and he has taken a chance by signing me so I want to show him and the club what I can do,” said Faubert.“I can break my neck for this kind of manager because he has taken a risk. The best thing I can do is repay him on the pitch.”
Explaining Faubert’s departure from McDiarmid Park on Tuesday, St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright told BBC Scotland: “We just felt match fitness was something that we couldn’t wait for.”
Faubert signed for the Hammers for £6.1m in 2007 on a five year contract amid big expectations, but could score only two league goals during 103 appearances.
He was famously loaned to Real Madrid for a loan fee thought to £1.5m plus wages while a Hammer, where he was snapped sleeping on the subs bench. His loan spell finished with only two appearances.
