Queens Park Rangers are set to sign former Fulham defender Moritz Volz on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
The experienced German has impressed while on trial at Loftus Road.
He is currently a free agent after leaving Fulham last summer, after a series of hip, shoulder and ankle injuries.
The 27-year-old played for the reserves on Tuesday in their 3-0 defeat against Reading.
Volz will be boss Mick Harford's fifth signing at the club since replacing Paul Hart last month.
Writing on his blog recently, Colz said: 'I'm very grateful they're giving me the opportunity to build up my match fitness after such a long time out.
'You can train all you like but it's matches you need to really get back to your best.'
Rangers,who are currently in 14th place in the Championship, face Peterborough at London Road on Saturday.
