Derby County have signed striker David Nugent from Middlesbrough for a fee understood to be £2.5m.
The 31-year-old former Leicester and England forward has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with the Rams.
"He's a proven goalscorer at Championship level and has a great deal of experience to bring to the table," Derby manager Steve McLaren said.
Nugent began his career with Bury in 2003 before joining Preston and won his sole international cap in 2007.
He came on as a substitute against Andorra in Barcelona in a Euro 2008 qualifier and scored a goal in a 3-0 victory.
