ROSS COUNTY have snapped-up former Manchester United winger Chris Eagles.
The Scottish Premiership outfit have confirmed the star's signing on a deal until the end of the season.
Having initially joined the club on trial, the ex-Burnley ace has done enough to earn himself a contract.
Eagles will now reunite with his old boss Owen Coyle at Dingwall, subject to international clearance.
Coyle said: "I am delighted to sign Chris. He is a player I know well having worked with him previously.
"Chris did well while on trial here last week and I feel he will be a great addition to the squad.
"He brings a wealth of experience playing at the top level."
The 32-year-old joined the Red Devils' academy in 2000 from Watford and spent eight seasons at Old Trafford.
