The 21-year-old striker has signed until the end of the season at the Championship basement boys and joins Richard O’Donnell, Alex Bray, Semi Ajayi and Ben Purrington as newcomers to Paul Warne's squad.

The former England under 19 international had a loan spell with Scottish Premier League side Hamilton Academical last season. He has also had spells on loan at York City and Oxford United.

“I've always liked him,” said Warne.

“He’s really mobile, direct and he wants to get a goal. He can play in a three up front or a two and he's even led the line on his own.

“He's really hard-working and really athletic which is what I want. He's a good age and he's friends with Tom Adeyemi here, so Tom knows him and has explained how the club works and he's really keen to come in and play.

“It's more choice up top which is never a bad thing and with the additions we're trying to make at the back, we're just trying to strengthen the team up throughout.”
