Brewster to resurrect 'the calf'

Norwegian full back Christian Kalvenes has reportedly signed a deal for Dundee United.

Brann Bergen defender Christian Kalvenes has reportedly signed a deal with Dundee United after impressing on trial at Tannadice.

According to media reports emanating out of his home country the versatile Norwegian has put pen-to-paper on a move, which could solve boss Craig Brewster's persistent left back problems.

The player was a fringe member at Brann last term after being usurped by former Under-21 international Erlend Hanstveit.

Former United midfielder Charlie Miller recommended Kalvenes to Brewster though and it seems he was right about the 29-year-old.

Reports suggest the fee for 'Kalven' (meaning the calf) as he is affectionately known, is in the region of £50,000.

It is hoped that boss Craig Brewster can help him resurrect his career and recover some of the form he showed for Norwegian outfit Sogndal between 2000 and 2003.

He picked up a serious injury after that time, but it is hoped that regular first team football in the Scottish Premier League this season will help get him back to his best.
