Inverness Caledonian Thistle have signed former Crystal Palace striker Ibra Sekajja on a short-term deal.

The 21-year-old, who left Selhurst Park in the summer, has been training with the Scottish Premiership side for the past fortnight.

Jags manager John Hughes has now decided to sign Sekajja until January 2015, with the option of extending the contract until the end of the season.

"We said we intended taking our time to bring in any players and were not going to be rushed in to making any snap decisions just because the transfer window was closing," Hughes told Sky Sports News.

"We have had our eye on Ibra for sometime and he came up to join the boys two weeks ago and has really impressed with his skill and hunger for the game. He is being given the opportunity to push on with his career and what better place to achieve this than Inverness."

Inverness are currently in third place in the league table.
