Senegal forward, Dame N’Doye, has signed for Barclays Premier League side Hull City from Lokomotiv Moscow.

The 29-year-old has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal with an option of a further year for an undisclosed fee.

Manager Steve Bruce made signing a striker his priority after watching his side slip to third from bottom on the log.

The club has the second-worst scoring record in the league and they will be looking to N’Doye, who just came back from the Orange Africa Cup of Nation, to supply the much-needed goals to keep the club in the elite division.

“I’m delighted to have completed the signing of Dame and I’m looking forward to seeing him in action for us,” Bruce told the club’s official website.

“He will undoubtedly strengthen our squad and add a significant goal threat.”

A tweet from the club, posted in the early hours of Tuesday morning, confirmed the deal.

“We are delighted to confirm the signing of Senegal international striker Dame N’Doye from Lokomotiv Moscow for an undisclosed fee.

“The 29-year-old has penned a two-and-a-half-year deal, with the Club holding the option of extending that by a further year.”

N’Doye, who had been at Lokomotiv Moscow for three years, also played for Academica de Coimbra, OFI Crete, Panathinaikos and FC Copenhagen.
