34-year-old Wilson joins Rovers from League One title-winning outfit Plymouth Argyle, making 41 appearances in the 2022-23 season, scoring one goal.

He has one Wales cap, making his international debut in a 1-1 draw against Belgium in 2013.

Rovers' boss Joey Barton said: "We are delighted to secure James' services. He comes into our group having just done what we are aiming for; getting promoted out of League One.

"He was a standout performer for last season and he will be looking to enjoy similar success here. His experience and character will be huge for us this coming season."
