Ryan Woods joins Rovers on a season-long loan from Hull.
The defensive midfielder comes with plenty of experience, having 274 Championship appearances to his name as well as 48 appearances in League One.
The Englishman had 28 appearances last season for Hull as well as two assists.
Beginning his career at Shrewsbury, Woods enjoyed time at Brentford, Stoke City, Millwall and Birmingham before joining Hull last August.
Rovers' boss Joey Barton said: "We are delighted Ryan Woods has agreed to join us on loan from Hull. Ryan is another player who adds both quality and experience to our group and I’m sure he will be a great addition creating more competition for places."
