Charlton Athletic have signed former West Ham striker Ricardo Vaz Te on a free transfer until the end of the season.
The Championship strugglers announced on their official website that they had agreed a deal with the 29-year-old, who scored the Championship playoff final winner for the Hammers in 2012.
Vaz Te, who has also played for Bolton, Hull and Barnsley, has a prolific strike rate in the Championship.
The Portuguese forward left West Ham in January 2015 to join Turkish club Akhisar Belediyespor.
He could make his Charlton debut when they take on Birmingham in the Championship on Nov. 21.
