Hibernian have signed former Ivory Coast under-23 striker Franck Dja Djedje on an 18-month contract, subject to international clearance.
The 28-year-old moves to Easter Road following spells with Paris St Germain, Grenoble, Strasbourg, Nice and Dinamo Minsk, among others.
Speaking to the official Hibs website, head coach Alan Stubbs said: "We're really excited that we've managed to get Franck on board - he will give us another dimension in attack.
"Franck is an intelligent player, who has got good movement, he is quick and he scores goals."
Dja Djedje, who began his career at PSG and who most recently played for Dinamo Minsk in Belarus, revealed the advice of friend and former Hibs defender, Sol Bamba, helped him choose the Edinburgh club.
He said: "I've heard so many good things about Hibernian and everything seems right about this move, so I cannot wait for it all to begin.
"Sol is a close friend of mine and he told me all about Hibernian, Edinburgh and Scottish football.
"He told me that I should take this opportunity because I would enjoy playing here.
"My objective is to help the club to achieve promotion this year by scoring goals and helping the team."
