    Dundee have signed Andrew Nelson from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee after the 21-year-old striker found the net six times in his last five games. The Englishman's goals came in a short-term loan with Darlington in England's National League. But, after returning to his parent club, he has moved to the Scottish Premiership on a two-and-a-half year contract at Dens Park. Nelson ended last season on loan to Falkirk in the Scottish Championship. Having also had loan spells with Hartlepool United and Harrogate Town, he went on to score four goals in 15 appearances last season for Falkirk. He helped the Bairns pull away from relegation and Dundee manager Jim McIntyre will be hoping for a similar impact with his side sitting bottom of the top flight.

    Be interesting to see how he gets on, the Darlo lads rate him.

    Good luck to the lad, as we're in the market for a striker I suppose Jack Ross didn't rate him enough to keep him and give him a go.
    Never seen him play so hard to pass a judgement on the lad.

    Aye I've heard of him but never seen him play either so this is just the academy system working as intended, I hope we can make it as lucrative as it can be given the facilities.

    Surprised to say the least, he was also well rated in Falkirk.

    think this is a bad deal from our part, as far as i'm aware he has impressed, at all of the clubs he has been loaned to, and is spoken of highly at the academy

    I honestly cant understand why he never got in our Checkatrade team or even on our bench. He sounds like a decent player for the level we're playing at.
