Wycombe have signed former Reading and Yeovil striker Gozie Ugwu until the end of the season.
Ugwu, who began his career with the Royals, helped the Madejski Stadium outfit win the Under-21 Premier League Cup in 2014 but never featured for the first team and was released by Yeovil at the end of last season.
He joins Gareth Ainsworth's strikeforce at Adams Park and the Chairboys boss is delighted to announce the deal for his high-flying League Two side.
He told the club's official website: "Gozie is an exciting striker who I've had my eye on for some time and he's done very well during his time with us.
"He offers us something different in attack and I'm sure by playing alongside two experienced players like Paul Hayes and Garry Thompson, his game will continue to develop and improve. I'm delighted to have him on board."
The 22-year-old began his career with the Royals before he was sent out on loan to Yeovil, Plymouth and Shrewsbury after a brief spell at Ebbsfleet United.
He joined Scottish League One side Dunfermline last summer and moved to the Glovers back in January where he scored five goals in 22 appearances before leaving the club after their relegation to League Two last season.
Wycombe are currently second in the standings and undefeated in the league so far this season ahead of Saturday's home match against Ugwu's former club Plymouth, who sit third.
