Wollacott said: “I am delighted to get the deal over the line. It was a quick turnaround, so I am very happy it was done quickly.

“Unfortunately, last season did not work out for me, so I was looking for a solution.

“I know Scott well from my time at Swindon, and I really enjoyed working with him, so this seemed like a great fit.

“He gave a lot of information on how he wants the team to play, but also on how he wants me to play, so hopefully we can continue to work well together.

“I also know [goalkeeper coach] Steve Hale so he was involved in the conversations that I had with the club and now I just can't wait to get going.”
