Morecambe have signed New Zealand defender Steven Old on a one-year deal, subject to international clearance.
The 31-year-old, who has made 17 appearances for the All Whites, was most recently playing in the Swedish second tier with GAIS.
"Steven is a very experienced player, who has had some really high points throughout his career," Shrimps manager Jim Bentley told the club's website.
"He's been a captain at previous clubs and has good leadership qualities, which we need within our squad.
"I've done a lot of research on him and he comes very highly recommended, and I've also watched hours of games and clips from his time abroad and have been very impressed with what I've seen.
"He's a strong, physical player and technically and tactically very good. We're looking forward to getting him on board and working with him."
