The 23-year-old joins upon the expiration of his contract with the Stones, although a compensation fee will be paid.

The South African-born defender made 27 appearances in his recent one-year spell with the Stones.

Tavares, who has also represented Croatia at youth level, can slot in anywhere across the back line, mainly filling in as a centre-half during his time at Grosvenor Vale.

Starting out as a youngster amongst Brentford's youth system, he spent three years between 2013 and 2016 before his release.

He would then find a home in Crystal Palace, spending four years with the club between 2017 and 2021, before joining Wealdstone ahead of the 2021/22 season.
