Scotland cap Marc McNulty has moved to America after signing for USL Championships side Orange County SC.
The striker had been a free agent after leaving Reading last summer but is now looking forward to a fresh start across the Atlantic, where he links up with former Dundee United team mate Dillon Powers.
The 30 year-old, who began his career at Livingston, had two separate loan spells at both Hibs and United during his time with the Royals.
McNulty, who has scored 127 goals in 388 appearances across his career, said: “I am very excited for my move to Orange County and to play in the USL Championship.
“I can’t wait to get started and help the team achieve great things as they have done in the past.”
County general manager Oliver Wyss said: “We are delighted to add Marc, a former Scottish International to our roster.
“Marc’s quality and international experience will have a significant impact on our team and we are convinced he will bring lots of joy to our fans in Orange County.”
Club sporting director Peter Nugent added: “Marc is a prolific striker and a player we expect to play an important role within the team.
“He has the potential to be one of the leading scorers in the league. We look forward to welcoming him to Orange County.”

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
