Queens Park Rangers have signed former Lecce striker Javier Chevanton on a short-term contract.
The 33-year-old, who has scored seven times in 22 appearances for Uruguay, had been training with the Championship outfit over the last week.
"I am really looking forward to the challenge of playing in England. I have scored goals all around Europe and I am confident I can continue that record with QPR," Chevanton told the club's official website.
"When I was younger, I loved watching English football. The atmosphere here is great and when the chance came to join QPR, it was all I wanted. I have a great will-to-win and I can't wait to do my best for the club and fall in love with the fans."
The R's are currently without Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora through injury.
