David Martindale has revealed Livingston are closing in on the signing of Dominican Republic international defender Luiyi De Lucas.
The 28-year-old has been on trial with the Lions since November following just over two years as a regular with Finnish top-flight side Haka.
De Lucas has impressed Martindale enough to earn a deal and the cinch Premiership club expect to be able to give him his debut later this month once his international clearance is finalised.
