The 29-year-old has penned a one-year deal with the Scottish Championship outfit.

Beattie had been without a club since leaving Barnet in the summer and has been training with the Dees for the last few weeks.

Manager John Brown told Dundee’s website: “There has been a lot of doubters about Craig recently but I really believe in the player.

“A fit Craig Beattie will cause havoc for our opponents throughout the season.

“He has proven that in the past, when he played at the highest level, and he will again, I’m sure of that.”

Beattie said: “I’m delighted to have joined Dundee and, from the minute I spoke to the manager, I was convinced this was the club for me.

“I fully intend to repay his belief in me.”
