Departing Thistle following their relegation he returned again to Greece briefly before joining Falkirk for the second half of last season.
Queens boss Allan Johnston said “Abdul has lots of experience, playing at a good level. He has trained with us for a few weeks now and we’ve had a good look at him. We know what he can add to the squad. I’m delighted he has agreed to join us”.
