‘It was an easy decision when (sporting director) Stuart Webber and (head coach) Daniel Farke showed their interest. I can’t wait to get started.’

‘We’re really happy to be able to sign Jacob. There was a lot of interest and many clubs were after him,’ said Farke.

‘He’s young but still has experience on a really good level in a different country. He’s a brilliant lad and I like his attitude. He offers a lot in midfield.

‘I think we’ve got a really good talent. We hope he can help us in the short and long term.’
