Cowden sign up French striker One

Armand One was with Partick Thistle last season

Former Partick Thistle striker Armand One has signed for Cowdenbeath until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old had played two games as a trialist with Third Division rivals Albion Rovers after his summer release from Firhill.

Cowden boss Mixu Paatelainen said: "He has great technique and can play as a target man.

"We will be short of that type of player once Mikko returns to Finland. I am sure One will score goals for us."

Paatelainen junior is on loan from Jaro, while his other brother, midfielder Markus, received surgery this week after an injury he suffered last weekend.

Armand, who began his career at Nantes before moving to Cambridge United, Northampton Town, Wrexham and Tamworth, goes straight into the squad to face East Fife on Saturday.

He scored seven goals in 31 appearances for Thistle last season.

Paatelanen saw One first hand in pre-season training before the Cowden boss left St Mirren for Cental Park.
