Brentford striker Farid El Alagui has joined Scottish Premier League Dundee United on loan for the rest of the 2013/14 season.
The 28-year-old Moroccan striker travelled to Scotland earlier this week.
International clearance was received for the move this afternoon and the deal was officially complete.
Farid joined Brentford from Falkirk in the summer of 2012 – he was born in Bordeaux, France, and started his career with Bergerac Football before moving to Moroccan side Wydad and then Stade Olympique Romorantinais before a move to Scotland.
He scored 28 goals in all competition for Falkirk in the 2011/12 season as he helped The Bairns finish third in Scottish Division One and win the Scottish Challenge Cup.
He was on a one-year contract at Falkirk and joined The Bees when that deal expired.
He made his Brentford debut against Bury on the first day of the 2012/13 League One season and made an immediate impact at Griffin Park, scoring three goals in his first five games for The Bees.
Farid picked up a serious knee injury in October 2012 that caused him to miss most of the 2012/13 season.
He returned at the start of the 2013/14 season and marked his comeback with two goals in a Capital One Cup win over Dagenham and Redbridge.
He was mainly used as a substitute this season, playing 18 games in all competitions but only starting three, 12 of those appearances came in Sky Bet League One with one from the start.
He scored six goals for The Bees this term, one in the league, and finished with a record of nine goals from 30 Brentford games in all competitions, 20 of which were as a substitute.
Four of those goals came in his 23 League One games.
Mark Warburton, Brentford FC Manager, said: “Farid has joined Dundee United to gain valuable pitch time and get himself match fit.
“He needs to play games.
“Farid did a good job for us and, with the support of our excellent medical team, came back very well after a serious knee injury.
“He was a useful substitute and could be relied upon when needed but he is a senior pro and needs to be playing.
“With our recent form his opportunities had been limited and we didn’t want to stand in his way when the chance came for more regular football.
“He knows the Scottish Premier League very well, and with his outstanding professionalism, I am sure will have a very positive impact north of the border.
“Farid was a good man to have around the dressing room; I wish him all the best for his time in Scotland.”
