Hamilton last night confirmed the signing of French striker Oumar Diaby.

The 26-year-old left Bulgarian top-flight side Levski Sofia in mid-January and Accies say they signed the player on Sunday.

Diaby started his career in the Real Sociedad youth ranks before spells in the French lower leagues.

He had three years at Slovakian club Kosice before moving to Bulgaria last summer.

An Accies statement read: "The player has been with the club over the past week and was at Saturday's game at Rugby Park.

"He has now been registered with the Scottish FA and FIFA, and international clearance is now awaited from the Bulgarian Football Union."

Diaby strengthens Hamilton's attacking options after Christian Nade left for Dumbarton.

Meanwhile, Ross Couty manager Jim McIntyre described the loan signing of David Goodwillie from Aberdeen as a "no-brainer".

Goodwillie was allowed to leave Pittodrie on loan until the end of the season after Derek McInnes recruited Wales striker Simon Church.

McIntyre believes the former Scotland cap is a great fit for his side.

"He's a player I know well," McIntyre said. "He was a young boy at Dundee United when I was a player there."

McIntyre believes County's style of football will play to Goodwillie's strengths.

"He's got goals in him. I think he's improved his all round game as he's got older. He's got great strength, good awareness and I think the way we play will suit him.

"There's no doubt I think a partner, playing beside someone, I think his game suits that.

"When we found David was going to be available then it was a no brainer. To attract somebody like David is a fantastic bit of business for us."

Goodwille is not ruling out a permanent move to Dingwall but believes he has to demonstrate his ability and earn the opportunity.

"If I can do well here I can have that option of maybe staying a wee bit more permanent," he said. "I can't expect it; I need to do well to deserve it.
