Nigeria international forward Victor Nsofor Obinna, who has penned a one-year contract with German Bundesliga outfit SV Darmstadt.
He joins after a successful trial but will miss his new club's first four matches of the new season through suspension.
The 29-year-old was sent off in his last match for second division side MSV Duisburg in their relegation play-off against Würzburger Kickers.
The striker has 46 caps and 11 goals for Nigeria as well as being part of the Super Eagles squad at the 2010 World Cup as well as the 2006, 2008 and 2010 African Cup of Nations.
The former Inter Milan, Chievo Verona, West Ham, Malaga and Lokomotiv Moscow player was an integral part of the Nigeria squad that won silver at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in China.
His compatriot Chinedu Obasi has signed a short-term deal with Swedish topflight club AIK.
The 30-year-old Nigeria international was released by Bundesliga club Schalke last summer after making just 10 league starts in three years.
“It’s a great opportunity and also a great honour for me to be part of this fantastic club,” he told AIK website.
Like Obinna he has a silver medal from the 2008 Beijing Games, and was at 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
He is the only Nigerian to have appeared in all Fifa World Cups [Under-17, Under-20 and Senior] as well as the Olympics.
