Victor Nirennold has joined the club on a deal until the end of the season.
The versatile Frenchman has signed after a brief training spell, having most recently plied his trade in the Malaysian Super League.
“Victor gives us added competition down the right hand side of our team,” manager Graham Alexander said of the new recruit.
“He has attributes that will fit in to how we play, and a character that his team mates will appreciate.
“We’re happy to have him here with us and look forward to working with him again.”
Standing at 6ft 4in, Nirennold is primarily a right-sided defender, who can play either at centre back or full back. He can also play at right midfield.
The 30-year-old was a youth player at Stade Rennais before moving to the United States to study business at Erskine College in South Carolina.
Featuring for the college team and then at Nova Southeastern University, his professional career started in USL2 with FC Miami City in 2015.
Picked up in August later that year by manager Alexander at Fleetwood Town, he would spend three years in England before a switch to Slovakia with FK Senica.
Spells in Vietnam and Malaysia followed, before his arrival at Fir Park.
