Rafael, 30, is unveiled at the end of the short clip, complete with his namesake television character's signature red eye mask.

The former Manchester United right-back joins the Turkish Super Lig side after five years and 139 matches in France.

Rafael has signed a two-year deal with the option to stay for another season.
