Dundee United have signed two new defenders – and both are set to make their debuts against Peterhead on Saturday.
Subject to international clearance, Frank van der Struijk and William Edjenguélé have agreed one-year contracts.
Right-sided Van der Struijk (31) played over 300 times in the Eredivisie with Willem II and SBV Vitesse, while left-footed central defender Edjenguélé (29) has experience in the Greek SuperLeague and Swiss Super League and also played for Coventry City.
Manager Ray McKinnon said: “We had to be patient with both these signings.
“We worked on these deals for a good few weeks and I am delighted to get them on board.
“They will add experience and quality to our squad in an area I have been looking to strengthen. Both will play a part in Saturday’s game versus Peterhead.”
Van der Struijk said: “I am looking forward to playing for Dundee United.
“After Nick van der Velden spoke to me about the club and I checked out the training complex and the Dundee area, I was happy to sign for United.
“It is a little different over here in the style but I believe I will do well here.”
Edjenguélé commented: “I enjoy football in the UK and was keen to move back. I was very impressed with everything about the club when I visited recently.
“Now I just want to start working and help the team achieve some success. I have some flair in my game but I am here to defend first and foremost.”
