Sligo Rovers have boosted their attacking options by signing South African born striker Ryan De Vries.
The New Zealand international makes the move to the Showgrounds from the Japanese side FC Gif.
Bit O'Red boss Liam Buckley says he feels the 28-year-old is a "major addition" to the squad.
“The deal has been agreed for a few weeks, we were just awaiting final documentation from Japan to get his release.
“I’m delighted to get him in and we need him given our numbers up front. We hope he’ll be a major addition to us.
“He’s quick, strong, has a great physique with a good touch and I can see him scoring goals. I spoke to people in New Zealand and they think he’ll fit comfortably in our league and do really well.
“We had a report from the New Zealand international manager, we’ve done our homework on him so we hope he does bring a lot to us.
“We need to get the work permit done before he can play, that will be a small bit of time but we hope to have him involved as soon as possible.
“We are disappointed with our start in the league. But as I said to the boys last night, the passion and desire we showed against Bohemians will bring us results if we keep showing it.”
