AmaZulu has confirmed the signing of striker Sede Junior Dion from DStv Premiership side Marumo Gallants.
The 28-year-old striker has made 10 appearances for Gallants this season and found the back of the net twice.
The Ivory Coast international will be looking to help Usuthu keep up the momentum after recording a their first win under coach Romain Folz against Stellenbosch at the end of October.
Dion joins the MTN8 finalists ahead of their crunching fixture with Sekhukhune United on New Year's Eve. Folz' charges have struggled to find the goals this season, scoring just three goals in their last five outings.

Other forwards vying for a starting berth include Lehlohonolo Majoro, Dumisazi Zuma and Augustine Kwem, among others.
Folz will also be relieved to welcome back another attacking outlet in Bongi Ntuli, who was confirmed to be back doing light training as he makes a full recovery from a knee injury that has kept out of action since August.
