Birmingham have signed Dutch winger Daniel de Ridder on a free transfer from Spanish side Celta Vigo.
Amsterdam-born De Ridder, 23, was out of contract with Vigo and has agreed a three-year-deal with Birmingham.
De Ridder, who can also play as a striker or in midfield, was a key player for Holland during their recent Uefa Under-21 Championship triumph.
He started his career with Ajax, making his debut as a 19-year-old, before moving to Vigo in 2005.
De Ridder is City's fifth signing of the summer so far after Fabrice Muamba, Stuart Parnaby, Garry O'Connor and Olivier Kapo.
