"Tobias is a great addition to the squad," said Under-18s chief Chris Brown. "He has performed well over his trial period and will add a lot of good qualities to the group on and off the pitch.

"Tobias is an energetic midfielder who will get forward into attacking positions and show his ability in the final third within goal involvements, as well as his ability to compete and win one-on-one duels, whilst also having the ability to start counter attacks.

"He is a great character for the group, and we are very pleased to welcome him to the club."
