HAMILTON have confirmed the signing of former Livingston full-back Steve Lawson.
Stuart Taylor brought Lawson, 27, to the club as his fourth January signing after Dan O'Reilly, Ellis Brown and Kai Kennedy headed to Lanarkshire.
Lawson brings Scottish Premiership experience to the Championship side after three years with Livingston before leaving in the summer.
But the Togo international is back in Scottish football with Hamilton who currently sit sixth in the Championship.
Lawson goes straight into the squad and is available for selection this weekend for Hamiltons's clash with Ayr.
Taylor told the club website: “I am very pleased to welcome Steve to our football club. He is very athletic and shows great quality on the ball.
"He comes to the club with international experience as well as experience in Scottish football which can only be a good thing.
“I would like to thank our board of directors for their fantastic efforts in bringing Steve to the club.
"We have been working extremely hard over the last couple of days and I think they deserve credit for this addition.”
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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
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. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
