Oxford United have completed the signing of forward Ole Romeny from Dutch top-flight club Utrecht in what is believed to be a club-record deal.
Romeny, 24, has reportedly agreed a three-and-a-half year contract to move to the Kassam Stadium for an undisclosed fee.
He played 13 games in the Eredivisie this season, scoring two goals for a team who are third in the league.
Dutch-born, he represented the Netherlands at under-20 level, but he is eligible to play for Indonesia through his maternal grandmother.
"I have had very good conversations with the club, and I know they are extremely ambitious, and I believe the plans they have in place will really suit me," Romeny told the club's website, external.
"Even though I've only recently arrived at the club, I have had many conversations with the recruitment team about our plans for this January window," said Rowett.
"Very early in those discussions, Ole's name was brought to my attention and, having watched a number of his clips, I'm pleased we could move quickly to bring him into the club."
Romeny's arrival comes on the same day the U's agreed to loan striker Will Goodwin to League One Wigan the rest of the season.
