Livingston have signed defender Hakeem Odoffin on a free transfer from Northampton.
The 20-year-old former Tottenham youngster has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal, with his former club set to net a sell-on fee should Livi cash in on him in future.
Lions boss Gary Holt said: “I’m delighted to get Hakeem signed up at Livingston. We have had him watched on numerous occasions since he first appeared on our radar, and have received some very good scout reports.
“To be honest, he was one we were initially targeting for the summer, but the opportunity to sign Hakeem in the January window presented itself, and Davie Martindale and I felt we couldn’t turn it down.
“Hakeem is predominately a right-back but can play right centre-half and right wing-back too. He is a powerful athlete and a very good footballer, and will definitely strengthen the squad going forward.
“We feel we have got Hakeem at a very good stage in his development curve, and we feel Livingston FC can go on a reap the benefits in the foreseeable future.
“Getting the lad in this window will benefit everyone and allow Hakeem to bed in and get a feel for the club. It’ll also help with his integration to Livingston Football Club and Scottish Football in general.”
