The midfielder has more than 130 Scottish Premiership games to his name and also spent time in England's second tier with Birmingham City.

He has signed up for the Bairns' tilt at the League One title having made his breakthrough at this level with Cowdenbeath in 2006 before being snapped up by the Tannadice giants. Unlike the other four summer signatures Gomis has never worked under Ray McKinnon previously.

He began his career in England with Windsor and Eton before a move to the Conference South Lewes propelled him into the Scottish league system.
