Striker Adam Rooney has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Aberdeen, the Pittodrie club have announced on their official website.
The 25-year-old Irishman arrives from Oldham and goes straight into the squad for the Scottish Premiership trip to Motherwell at the weekend.
Dons boss Derek McInnes said: "Adam is a proven goalscorer and he has the quality to add something to our team.
"There were other clubs keen to take him and it's great that he wants to be part of what we're doing here at Aberdeen.
"I've said all along that I'll only bring in players who I believe will add something to the squad and Adam certainly ticks that box."
The Dublin-born player joined Inverness in the summer of 2008 before leaving for Birmingham at the start of the 2011-12 campaign.
A season-long loan at Swindon followed a year later before he joined Oldham last summer.
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
