Burnley have signed former Watford winger Lloyd Dyer on a free transfer.
Dyer, 33, whose contract with the Hornets expired last month, has put pen to paper on a deal running to the end of the season.
"Lloyd had come out of his situation at Watford and is very experienced and we still feel he has something to offer," Burnley boss Sean Dyche told the club's official website.
"He has been involved with two promoted teams, so he brings that experience, but he's also different to what we already have at the club.
"He is direct and has pace, so he adds a different aspect to our game and the squad."
Dyer spent the end of last season on loan at Birmingham, where he made a total of 19 appearances, and played a key role in Leicester's promotion to the Barclays Premier League in 2014.
He began his career at West Brom and had loan spells at Kidderminster, Coventry and QPR, before signing permanent deals with Millwall, in 2006, and MK Dons 18 months later.
