Khaled arrived in Goa yesterday and signed on the dotted lines for the Greens after clearing his medicals, an official release said.
Salgaocar FC were on the lookout for a foreign player under the Asian quota and had shortlisted a couple of players in the process.
Eventually, Khaled was found most suited to coach Derrick Pereira's scheme of things given his versatility.
He is adept at playing as an out-and-out striker as well as a winger. He has in the past also been deployed as a withdrawn striker for both club and country to good effect.
"We've been found wanting going forward in our last two games and the signing of Khaled should provide us with a few more options in attack," remarked the Salgaocar gaffer.
Khaled, 28, has been part of the Yemen national side for a few years now and even scored in his country's 6-3 win over India at Pune in 2010 in an international friendly match.
He represented the Yemen national youth side at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2003 and was also part of the team that finished runners-up in the AFC U-17 Championship a year prior to that, losing to South Korea in finals via penalties.
More recently, he won the League title and President's Cup with Al Tilal Yemen, a club he has long served.
