Millwall have signed Northern Ireland international right-back Conor McLaughlin on a two-year deal.
McLaughlin, most recently playing in League One for Fleetwood, is Neil Harris' fifth summer signing ahead of their return to the Sky Bet Championship.
He has won 22 Northern Ireland caps and scored his first international goal in a 4-0 win over Azerbaijan.
"I'm delighted to get everything signed," McLaughlin said. "I first heard of Millwall's interest towards the back end of last season, but I then went away on holiday and got married, so it took a bit of time - but I'm glad it's all sorted now.
"I'm really looking forward to getting going. I just want to start and get to know my team-mates."
Boss Neil Harris added: "We've been chasing Conor all summer.
"He was one of the outstanding performers in League One last season and was voted by his peers into the Team of the Year - which is the biggest accolade you can have in professional football.
"He's a solid, reliable right-back, who is first and foremost a very good defender. He's technically very good and has many caps for Northern Ireland. His character will blend in very well with the rest of the group."
