"The club told me of their plans for me as part of their goals for this season and beyond," he told the club website.

"I have already played with some of the lads in this team in the past and I know the quality they possess. I'm excited to start the new season with the team and the massive fan base here."

Head coach Thomas Reis added: "Timo combines his tough-tackling nature and strength in the air with his excellent positioning. The younger defenders in our team will benefit from his experience and calmness on the ball."
