The experienced centre-back had been on trial with Francis Vines' squad and scored in the 3-1 loss to a Tottenham XI this week.

In a busy summer Rodwell also turned out for Worcester City as well as considering an offer to play abroad.

Rodwell follows former Watford striker Fabian Forde out of the club and now means manager Vines will have to look elsewhere as he bids to further strengthen his ranks before the season's opener against Merthyr Tydfil next weekend.
