Dundee United have signed striker Jort van der Sande from Dutch second division side ADO Den Haag on a two-year contract.
The 28-year-old, who represents the Dutch municipality of Bonaire at international level, has scored 13 goals in each of the last three seasons in the Netherlands.
“Jort’s arrival is exciting for the club,” Jim Goodwin told the Dundee United website.
“His goalscoring record in Dutch football speaks volumes about his pedigree, having been at the top of the second division scoring charts on numerous occasions over the last decade.
“Connecting with teammates while playing with his back to goal is also a strength of his game, which will bring a different dynamic to our front line and have a positive impact on the versatility of the unit as a whole.”
Van der Sande told United fans what to expect from him.
“I’m a tough player who likes to duel with defenders, create chances for my teammates and, most importantly, score goals,” he said.
“Off the field, I also think it will be a great option for me – I love the country, the accent and the people, and that made this proposal even more attractive.”
