Hamilton new boy Xavier Tomas says he feels no added pressure after becoming the club's first new player to command a transfer fee in eight years - because they never told him.
Accies paid an undisclosed fee to Swiss outfit Lausanne to bring in the 31-year-old French centre-back.
The last time Accies paid a transfer fee was back in 2009 when they splashed out a reported £180,000 to sign goalkeeper Tomas Cerny from Czech side Sigma Olomouc.
New signing Tomas said: "You think they paid a fee for my transfer? Okay. I didn't know. I'm not afraid of it though. It's not like they have spent £50m so it's okay.
"I have good confidence in me anyway. This won't disturb me. I am focused on the league. I need to practice and play some games because I haven't played for a couple of months.
"But after that I want to be ready for the league and give my best to help the team."
The Hamilton faithful could get their first glimpse of Tomas when they host Queen of the South in the League Cup on Saturday, July 22.
