Former Manchester City goalkeeper Nicky Weaver has signed a short-term deal with Dundee United.[LNB] The 30-year-old will be with the club until January after joining from Charlton, where his contract had expired, with the aim of gaining regular football and securing a move back to England.[LNB] United manager Craig Levein told the club's website dundeeunitedfc.co.uk: "I'm delighted to get Nicky Weaver in until the next transfer window in January." [LNB] He added: "Nicky is a proven goalkeeper at both Premiership and Championship level, with an impressive pedigree, and this move is beneficial both to him and to Dundee United. [LNB] "The short term nature of the deal gives me the experienced cover I need until Dusan Pernis joins us in January and allows him to put himself in the shop window for a move back to England, where I'm sure he could still play at Premier League level."
