Birmingham have signed Juninho Bacuna from Rangers for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old midfielder becomes Lee Bowyer’s fourth signing of the month.
Bacuna has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal having struggled to make an impact at Ibrox following a switch from Huddersfield last summer.
“It is nice to be here, I am excited to get going,” he told the club’s official site.
“I have got the opportunity to play games and show my abilities. Birmingham is a nice city. It is a big club and I am really excited to be here.
“The most important thing is to build something with the team and the club. I have got three and a half years to do it, I am going to do everything to make it an incredible time.”
Nottingham Forest striker Lyle Taylor has been reunited with former manager Bowyer after joining on loan.
