"We enquired about him a couple of times over the last 18 months but the timing wasn't quite right but the timing's perfect now - it's amazing how these things often have a habit of working out for the best.
"We think it's absolutely perfect timing for him to come into the club."
When asked if the right-footed, right-sided central midfielder is a direct replacement for Luke Summerfield, Millington said: "I think Jack Jenkins will bear more of that respnsibility, the ball-playing central midfielder, that's probably something he's going to have to bring out of his locker more going into this season.
"I'd say Tom is a similar player to Kane Thomson-Sommers but on the right, an energetic, dynamic, box-to-box midfielder."
