He joins Rakish Bingham, who arrived at the Fleet from Dundee United last year, and Kieran Monlouis, formerly of Hamilton, on the books at Stonebridge Road.

Tanner, 26, joins Fleet having played for Aldershot in the National League last season.

He told Fleet's website: "This is a club that's trying to build long-term, it's not just a short fix and that's very appealing.

"As a player, I try to be on the ball as much as possible to try to bring goals and assists. That's what brings me success and happiness."

Tanner joined Reading's academy, aged eight, and won promotion and the Under-21 Premier League Cup with the Royals.

He made his Championship debut in the 2014/15 season, played regularly on loan with AFC Wimbledon in League 2, and helped Plymouth to promotion during two seasons at Home Park.

His Plymouth form attracted interest from Motherwell, where he scored nine goals in his first season and played against Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers.
