Bristol Rovers have signed left-back Bryant Bilongo from Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Ebbsfleet United, scoring once in 12 appearances.
Bilongo has signed a two-year deal at the Memorial Stadium, with the option of a further year.
He is the club's fifth summer signing, following Isaac Hutchinson, Clinton Mola, Ruel Sotiriou and Dan Ellison to the Gas.
"My career has been such a journey so far and to continue it by signing for such a big club like Rovers is amazing for me and my family," Bilongo told the Rovers website.
