Dundee have signed the former Scotland striker David Clarkson, the club has announced.
The 28-year-old has been training with the Dens Park club for the past few weeks and has impressed Paul Hartley so much that he has been given a one-year deal.
Clarkson started his career at Motherwell, where he scored 56 goals in a little more than 250 appearances.
He was capped twice by Scotland and earned an £800,000 move to Bristol City in 2009, where he played alongside Hartley. He has been a free agent since leaving Bristol's other team, Rovers, at the end of last season.
Hartley told the official Dundee website: "We are delighted to get him signed up. I know him well from playing alongside him.
"He hasn't really played as a main striker for a few years but we see him as a centre-forward. He will give us good competition, good experience and a good goal return at this level. He's impressed us over the few weeks we've had him in training."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
