Former Kilmarnock striker Kyle Lafferty has completed a shock move to seventh tier Scottish side Johnstone Burgh.
The 35-year old has been capped 85 times by Northern Ireland and has also appeared for Norwich City in the English Premier League.
He has been searching for a club after spending the final part of last season at Linfield.
Lafferty has now decided he will join Johnstone Burgh in the West of Scotland Football League First Division.
The forward joins up with former Rangers teammate Graeme Dorrans who has also signed for the ambitious club this summer.
A statement on Johnstone Burgh's official Twitter account read: "Johnstone Burgh FC are delighted to announce the signing of Northern Ireland centre forward Kyle Lafferty on a two-year contract, subject to international clearance.
"We are delighted Kyle will join us and look forward to him joining the squad."
Manager Jamie McKim added: "I'm delighted Kyle has chosen to join us. We met him several times to try and sell the project to him and I'm delighted that he has bought into it.
"He will be huge on and off the pitch for us this season and I can't wait to see him in action with his team-mates."
