Rochdale have signed striker Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro on a two-year contract from Grimsby Town.
The 25-year-old will fly out with the rest of the Rochdale squad to a Spanish pre-season training camp tomorrow.
Toulouse-born Ivorian Akpa Akpro scored eight goals in 60 appearances for the Mariners, including five in their relegation campaign last term.
"He has good movement, technical ability and physique," Dale boss Keith Hill told the club website.
"There is a lot of work to do on both sides but we have an excellent record of developing players and Jean-Louis presents another opportunity to do this."
Akpa Akpro added: "There is a good feeling here and Keith and Dave [Flitcroft] certainly made the decision to come here an easy one."
