The League One side will welcome David Arshakyan to New Douglas Park this week

Hamilton Accies will run the rule over Armenian striker David Arshakyan this week.

The 29-year-old, who has been capped once for the Armenian national team and also holds Russian citizenship, arrived in Scotland on Friday to start a week-long trial at New Douglas Park tomorrow.

Arshakyan is a free agent after being released by BKMA Yerevan in his homeland and will hope to do enough to impress Accies boss John Rankin to win a deal with the League One side.

The player has a wealth of experience across Europe, playing in Denmark, Russia and Lithuania. He also had a spell in the MLS, playing for Chicago Fire in 2016/17 where he made 17 appearances.

His most prolific spell came for Lithuanian outfit FC Trakai, where he scored 24 times in 52 outings.

In recent years, appearances have been few and far between at Yerevan and FC Van, so he will hope Hamilton can help him reignite his career.
