Aberdeen have signed Bristol City’s Marley Watkins on loan until January.
The attacker has been brought in by boss Derek McInnes to ease a striker crisis which has seen Sam Cosgrove, Curtis Main and Leeds loanee Ryan Edmondson ruled out due to injury.
Watkins previously spent two seasons at Inverness.
McInnes said: “I’m really pleased to get a player of Marley’s quality and experience to the Club.
“Clearly, we have not had our troubles to seek in terms of injuries, particularly to our strikers, so it was important to get a player in who can help bolster our options in that area.
“We have a number of important fixtures coming up before the International break and a strong squad will be vital so I must thank the Board for supporting the addition of Marley, despite the financial restrictions currently placed on the Club.
“Having tried hard to get him here previously I’m really pleased to now have the opportunity to work with him and I’m sure he will do well for us.”
