Jonne Lindblom, who also represents former Motherwell forward Henrik Ojamaa, tweeted that the 24-year-old would be with the club until Monday.

Taar, who has previously played for Levadia Tallin and Narva Trans in his homeland and Polish side Wisla Plock, had an unsuccessful trial period with Norwegian side Kongsvinger IL earlier this year, and registered with FC Infonet in Estonia.

However, the club have confirmed that Taar can leave as a free agent if a team expresses interest in signing him.

Predominantly an attacking midfielder, Taar can also be utilised as a second striker or central midfielder.

He has also appeared at Under-23 level for the Estonian national team.
