Experienced Nigerian striker is Dundalk's newest addition for 2018

Marco Tagbajumi heads to Oriel Park having won the Norwegian Cup last season with Lillestrøm.

DUNDALK HAVE BOLSTERED their attacking options ahead of Friday night’s SSE Airtricity League Premier Division meeting with Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium.

The Lilywhites, who started their campaign with a goalless draw at home to Bray Wanderers last weekend, announced the signing of Marco Tagbajumi this afternoon.

The Nigerian-born striker heads to Oriel Park on a one-year contract, pending international clearance.

Over the last decade, Tagbajumi has gained experience of playing in Portugal, Cyprus, Thailand and — most recently — Norway. Last December he featured for Lillestrøm as they recorded a 3-2 win over Sarpsborg in the Norwegian Cup final.

The 29-year-old, who is Stephen Kenny’s ninth new signing for the 2018 season, is set to compete with the likes of fellow new additions Patrick Hoban, Ronan Murray and Sam Byrne for a place in the Dundalk attack.
