Livingston have confirmed the pre-contract signing of Ayo Obileye from Queen of the South.
The 26-year-old will join the Lions on a two-year deal when his contract with the Championship club expires at the end of the month. Livingston also have the option to extend the deal by a further season.
Obileye has been one of the standout performers in the Championship this term, netting nine times for the Doonhamers as they finished in sixth place.
Livi boss David Martindale said: "I am delighted that Ayo has chosen Livingston over a number of other Premiership clubs who were also chasing his signature. He has been a target for us for a large portion of the season.
"He’s aggressive in both boxes and can play as either a central defender or holding midfielder which I really like about him. He chips in with his fair share of goals - and not all coming from set plays.
"He has good feet, reads the game well and has a very good range of passing.
“He is a player I feel we can make better and has all the attributes to play for us now - very robust and physically up to the challenge having already played at a decent level in the UK throughout his career."
