Head coach Harry Kewell believes Milsom can only strengthen his side as they prepare for a busy August in Sky Bet League Two.

He said: “Rob is a player I saw a lot of in pre-season and he really impressed me, enough to earn a contract.

“He is an exciting player with lots of experience who is a great addition to our midfield.”

He was released by Notts County at the end of the 2017-18 season, a club where he played 70 times, scoring once.

Milsom has been given squad number 24 and, subject to league ratification, will be available for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie at Bristol Rovers.
