Speaking on the signing, Perry commented:
"Tom is an attacking player who joins having been a free agent. He will go straight into the reserve squad tomorrow and get some minutes. He has been in training the last 2 weeks and will be another good addition to the squad come January. Having worked with him previously, I know his qualities and what he can bring to the squad with his goals, set plays etc. Us, the coaching staff, are looking forward to working with him again."
