CINCINNATI – FC Cincinnati announced on Monday it has signed veteran forward Baye Djiby Fall to round out the club’s off-season signings prior its preseason trip to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. The signing is pending league and federation approval.

“We are looking forward to having Djiby join the FCC squad this season,” said FCC Head Coach John Harkes. “He brings a great deal of international experience and will provide a strong presence in front of the goal. Scoring goals is an art form and we are thrilled that in Djiby, we have a player who is hungry to score.”

Fall, who stands 6-foot-1, joins FCC after playing with FC Irtysh Pavlodar in the Kazakhstan Premier League last year, during which time he scored two goals. A veteran on the international scene, Fall had previously spent a year with Turkish side, Karsiyaka SK, two seasons with Danish club Randers FC where he began his European career, as well as two years with German club, Gruether Furth with several additional stops in Belgium, Russia and Norway.
