The defender, 22, leaves Bournemouth, who had loaned him out to three different clubs, including Hibernian. "There were lots of reasons to come here," Bevan told Dundee club media. "I saw during my trial period that there are lots of good people here. The manager was a big driving factor for coming, I like the way he works, I like the football he wants to play and I think it suits me. I think it'll bring the best out of me. "I want to perform here. I want to show people that I can step up a level at this club and I can't wait to get started." Bevan has made 47 senior appearances. And manager Steven Pressley said: "Owen is a player that we were made aware of and who joined us from day one of our pre-season. He very much impressed with his aggression, his defensive mindset but also his composure and ability with the football. "In our opinion he's a player with a very high ceiling and our job is to create an environment and give him the platform to achieve that potential. We're delighted that he has signed."
