Freed Hibs striker Mickael Antoine-Curier has signed for first division side Dundee tonight.

Curier, 25, joined the Hibees last summer from Norwegian side Haugesund BK for a nominal fee and scored four goals in twelve games for the Hibees.

The 6ft 3in Frenchman was deemed surplus to requirements by new Hibs manager Mixu Paatelainen in January and was sent out on loan to
Dundee for the remainder of the season.

He was a massive hit in the Dark Blue, scoring ten goals as
Dundee put in a late title charge, one that eventually failed.

Curier has signed a three-year-deal at
Dens Park.

The former Hibee was delighted at the chance of first team football, and speaking to the official Dundee FC website, www.Dundeefc.co.uk, he said:

"I don't talk about what I'm going to do before it happens though, but I hope I can do exactly the same as I did after joining
Dundee on loan."

"What I can promise is that I will do my maximum for the team, work hard to win every match - that's the most important thing, to win every match and if I score it's a bonus for the team and me - Scoring goals is nice but the most important thing is to get the SPL badge back on the Dundee shirt."

Good luck to the lad, things never really happened for him in a Hibs shirt, he had the quality of Steven Fletcher, Benji, Dean Shiels and Colin Nish to compete with, maybe the step down will do him good. Who knows we could soon be seeing him back at Easter Road in the SPL, in the dark blue of Dundee.
