Cork City striker Djenairo Daniels has moved to Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock.
Daniels agreed a deal to sign for the Rebels on a short-term basis last April after City were left without a senior striker due to injuries to Sean Maguire and Ruairi Keating.
He had been a free agent having last playerd with Icelandic side Fram Reykjaví.
Under transfer rules, players are not allowed sign contracts lasting less than a six months, so a agreement was made between the club and the striker that saw him sign until December and a release in the July window would be activated if a party saw fit.
He went on to score five times in his 12 Premier Division appearances for City, with the form stirring interest from clubs in Britain.
The striker has now agreed signed a two-year contract with Killie after undisclosed terms were agreed between the two clubs to facilitate his transfer.
While Maguire has now returned to action, it is still a blow to City and will leave Ger Nash in search of a new front man as they look to stave off relegation.
They slipped to five points from the play-off position over the weekend, which included a 3-1 loss to Shelbourne at Tolka Park.
Daniels did not feature in the game.
Speaking about his move to Scotland, the striker said: "I'm very happy to be here. I couldn’t wait until everything was done, I’m finally here now, so I’m happy about that.
"The decision was very quick, because it’s a big stage, a big opportunity for me and my career. That was the decision I had to make for myself, and it was the best I am sure."
Killie boss Stuart Kettlewell said: "Djenairo is one that we've been aware of for a while and his qualities are clear to see.
"He’s been playing consistently recently and we’re confident he will come in and hit the ground running, and that he can add to the quality we already have in the squad.
"He’s joins up with the squad today and we’re looking forward to working with him."
