Chief executive Julian Tagg said: "We're delighted to have had the opportunity to bring in a young prospect of Doug's calibre.

"He knows what the game is about at a competitive level."

Tagg continued: "He is someone that we've looked at the possibility of signing before and we're very pleased that we have had the opportunity to add him to our ranks."
