Dundee United are delighted to secure the signing of Argentine left-back Adrián Spörle.

The 23-year-old joins from Argentine Primera Division side CA Banfield and has committed to United for the next three seasons.

Dundee United's Sporting Director Tony Asghar said, "As a result of our long term global recruitment strategy we are delighted that Adrián has pledged his future to Dundee United FC. Adrián was identified through our Club scouting process, based on a number of factors - the main one being ability.

"He has played at the highest level in a top league, and both Robbie and I see him as being a great addition to our Championship challenge and beyond."

Adrián, who has made 62 appearances for Banfield after his debut during the 2013/14 season, will join up with his new team-mates at the St Andrews training camp for the start of pre-season training.
