Livingston have bolstered their defensive line with the addition of French defender Cécé Franck Pepe. The 22-year-old has signed a two year deal with the option of a third.
Pepe, who played at youth level for both Paris Saint Germain and Marseille, has six French under-16 caps to his name and has previous experience in Ukraine and Italy. His last club was Serie C outfit Rieti where he was a team-mate of former Livingston loan player Nikolay Todorov.
Livi boss Gary Holt hailed the signing, telling the official website: "Davie (Martindale) and I had Cécé in for a week or so training near the tail end of the season and we really liked the lad. He showed to get on extremely well within our squad and we both feel he will be a fantastic asset for Livingston FC.
“He is a product of the Marseille youth academy and has also gained some First Team experience in the Ukraine and Italy.
“Cécé is an out-and-out defender and likes to defend, good on the ball, physical and has a bit of pace in his locker. All in all we feel he is a fantastic signing for the club.”
