Dundee have signed former St Johnstone striker Marcus Haber after he impressed Paul Hartley during a recent trial at Dens Park.
The Dark Blues have been struggling to score goals this season following the summer departures of Kane Hemmings and Greg Stewart.
And Hartley is hopeful the Canada international will solve the problem with Dundee currently rooted at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership.
Haber is likely to be included in the squad to face Partick on Wednesday, as Dundee look for a win which would take them above their visitors in the table.
"Dundee Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of striker Marcus Haber," a statement from the club read.
"The Canadian international signs after a week on trial at the club in which he has impressed manager Paul Hartley.
"Marcus has been without a club since the summer but despite that has still appeared for the national side and hit the net two weeks ago in a 4-0 victory over Mauritania.
"The striker has experience playing in the Scottish game having spent time on loan at St. Johnstone from West Bromwich Albion before signing a permanent deal in Perth in 2011.
"Since leaving Saints, he has played his football in England, most recently with Crewe Alexandra where he hit double figures last season.
"Marcus has signed a deal which will see him stay at Dens until the end of the season."
