Dundee United today confirmed that goalkeeper Nicky Weaver had signed a short term deal with the Club, up until the January transfer window.
The 30 year old former Manchester City and England U21 keeper had been with Charlton Athletic since 2007, but was out of contract at the end of last season. Despite offers from other clubs he has agreed to sign a short term contract at Tannadice to obtain the opportunity for regular first team football and secure a move back to the Premiership.
Manager Craig Levein said, "I'm delighted to get Nicky Weaver in until the next transfer window in January. Nicky is a proven goalkeeper at both Premiership and Championship level, with an impressive pedigree, and this move is beneficial both to him and to Dundee United.
The short term nature of the deal gives me the experienced cover I need until Dusan Pernis joins us in January and allows him to put himself in the shop window for a move back to England, where I'm sure he could still play at Premiership level."
