Andre Hainault: Canadian defender has finalised his move to Ross County

Ross County have confirmed their fourth signing of the January transfer window with international clearance arriving for Canada international defender Andre Hainault.

The 26-year-old arrives in Dingwall following a spell with Houston Dynamo, helping the MLS outfit to consecutive MLS Cup finals.

County manager Derek Adams said: "Our interest in Andre has been no secret and when you look at his record that's no surprise.

"Despite still only being a young player, he's got experience of playing in Europe as well as at a top side in the MLS which is now an extremely good league which features world-class players.

"Signing players from outside the EU does involve a lot more work in the background to secure the necessary clearance and visas, but this work has now secured us a player who will undoubtedly add to the squad here at Ross County."

Hainault joins Ivan Sproule, Evangelos Oikonomou and Steffen Wohlfarth as new arrivals in Easter Ross this month.
