Cain told the Robins’ website: “It’s a great feeling to be here and I’m really looking forward to getting involved, playing good football and winning games.

“This is a really promising team with a lot of talented young players who are hungry and ambitious, and I really want to be a part of that.

“I’ve come here for regular first-team football and to prove myself at this level, showing just how good I can be.”
