Scotland U/21 striker Zak Rudden is a Dundee player.
Earlier this month, the 21-year-old had signed a pre-contract with the Dark Blues to head to Dens Park in the summer.
That will see him sign permanently at Dens Park until 2025.

However, a deal has been struck with Partick Thistle to bring forward the switch so Rudden can aid Dundee’s Premiership survival bid.
That will see the former Rangers man join on an initial loan before permanently joining the club when his Firhill deal comes to an end.
And he goes straight into James McPake’s squad to face rivals Dundee United in the derby tomorrow night.

As part of the deal, Dundee forward Alex Jakubiak has joined the Jags on loan until the end of the season.
That’s after the former Watford man penned a new one-year extension to his current Dark Blues contract.
