Derry City sign Norwegian forward Tim Nilson ahead of new season

Derry City have signed Norwegian forward Tim Nilsen.

The 27-year-old scored 32 goals in 53 games for Fredrikstad FK.

Nilsen has been involved in pre-season training with Derry and scored a brace in a friendly win over Finn Harps on Wednesday night.

"He has a high pedigree as a player," said City boss Declan Devine.

"We were reluctant to play him against Finn Harps because we'd seen enough about him and had done our homework on him.

"He was certainly everything we'd look for to bring to the club."

Nilsen has also played for Swedish side Ljunskile and Russian club Khimki.

He will be available for Derry's league opener against champions Dundalk on February 14.
