New Zealand international Rory Fallon - who played in the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa - has joined Crawley Town on a contract until the end of the season.
The hugely experienced striker, 31, has been handed the number 9 shirt and becomes Reds fourth new signing in the last two weeks.
Fallon has this season been playing for St Johnston in the Scottish Premier League and before that Aberdeen as well as a host of English Clubs, and is available for Tuesday’s visit of Tranmere, subject to international clearance from the Scottish FA.
He famously scored the goal in qualifying that took New Zealand to the 2010 World Cup finals and then played three matches in South Africa in what was their first appearance since 1982.
Manager John Gregory said: “Rory hasn’t had too many opportunities in Scotland so he is really looking forward to a new challenge.
“He’s very experienced, knows this league inside out and can score goals. We’re delighted he is with us for what is going to be a very busy end to the season.”
The striker began his career in 1999 with Barnsley, for whom he scored 11 times in 52 games despite suffering from a broken foot during his time at Oakwell. He played on loan for Shrewsbury before joining Swindon in 2003 where he stayed for four seasons and scored 22 goals in 77 appearances.
Rory also played on loan at Yeovil while with the Robins before heading to Home Park, where he made 149 appearances between 2007-11 for Plymouth.
He also linked up with Ipswich and Yeovil on loan during this time before heading to the other end of the country to play for Aberdeen.
He was with the Dons for two seasons and scored nine goals in 45 appearances at Pittodrie. This season he played for St. Johnstone in 12 games and scored his only goal for Saints against St Mirren in October.
