Birmingham City have completed the signing of former Newcastle forward Peter Lovenkrands on a free transfer.

Lovenkrands, 32, agreed personal terms to move to St Andrew's after being released by Newcastle earlier this summer.

The move was made possible after the Football League lifted a transfer embargo on Birmingham, imposed after the club failed to file accounts on time, and Lovenkrands is new manager Lee Clark's first signing for the Championship outfit.

Lovenkrands, a target for previous Birmingham bosses Chris Hughton and Alex McLeish, scored 26 goals in 85 appearances over two spells at Newcastle.
