Jacob Murrell offers "something different" to Falkirk, says manager John McGlynn, after the American striker joined from DC United.

Murrell, 22, has signed a two-year deal, with the Bairns holding the option of a further 12 months.

He made 65 appearances, the majority as a substitute, for MLS side DC United, scoring four goals.

"We're delighted to get Jacob in. He's a player we've been aware of for a wee while and one that we feel can bring something different to the group," said manager John McGlynn.

"He's a big, strong boy, he's 6ft 2in, but he's also very mobile. He likes to get in behind and he's got a real eye for goal. He's still only 22, so we think there's a lot more to come from him as well.

"He's been playing at a good level with DC United in the MLS, so he's coming in having had experience in a very competitive league."
