Sochaux have announced the signing of USA striker Charlie Davies from Swedish side Hammarby.

The 23-year-old, who scored 22 goals in Sweden, will be the first American to play for the French club.

Davies was spotted while playing for low-profile side Westchester Flames and went to Holland for a trial with Ajax.

He then joined Hammarby in January 2007, while also making 13 appearances for USA in which he has scored four times.

The striker will be expected to fill the void left by Turkey international Mevlut Erding, who moved to Paris St Germain in June.
