Scotland cap Marc McNulty has moved to America after signing for USL Championships side Orange County SC.
The striker had been a free agent after leaving Reading last summer but is now looking forward to a fresh start across the Atlantic, where he links up with former Dundee United team mate Dillon Powers.
The 30 year-old, who began his career at Livingston, had two separate loan spells at both Hibs and United during his time with the Royals.
McNulty, who has scored 127 goals in 388 appearances across his career, said: “I am very excited for my move to Orange County and to play in the USL Championship.
“I can’t wait to get started and help the team achieve great things as they have done in the past.”
County general manager Oliver Wyss said: “We are delighted to add Marc, a former Scottish International to our roster.
“Marc’s quality and international experience will have a significant impact on our team and we are convinced he will bring lots of joy to our fans in Orange County.”
Club sporting director Peter Nugent added: “Marc is a prolific striker and a player we expect to play an important role within the team.
“He has the potential to be one of the leading scorers in the league. We look forward to welcoming him to Orange County.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
