LEIGH GRIFFITHS has joined Falkirk on a short-term deal.
The League One outfit have sealed the former Celtic attacker on a contract until the end of the season.
The attacker was without a club last week after being freed from Celtic at the end of the January window.
He would then go on to reject a short-term deal at Dundee, where he spent the first half of the season on loan.
Martin Rennie's side were revealed to have offered the 31-year-old a contract worth £1,500-per-week.
And Griffiths has chosen to sign for Falkirk to help bolster their promotion bid.

However, their only realistic shot will come via the play-offs, with Cove Rangers a whopping 22-points in front of their rivals.
Falkirk have been in Scotland's third tier for four seasons after dropping out of the Championship.
Rennie said on the move: “I’m delighted that we’ve been able to bring Leigh to the club. He’s a very talented player who has scored goals throughout his career, and I think the timing has worked out really well for both the club and the player to come in and get playing games, and I’m sure scoring goals.”
Griffiths commented: “I’m really happy to be here. Martin and Kenny made it clear that they thought I could help them with the club’s promotion push. For me it’s about getting back enjoying football again and helping the team push up the league.”
