Manager Paul Cox said: “We're excited to get Rob on board. He's a good player who has experience of getting promoted from this league.
“Rob has come in and worked with us throughout pre-season and done well in the games. He's been patient. Now we've got to the point where we've agreed a deal and I'm happy with that.
"It's good news for the player and good news for the club."
