The 33-year-old has played 289 Football League games for Cheltenham, Wycombe and, most recently, Oldham.

He played seven times in Wycombe's promotion-winning League 1 campaign in 2019/20. Wycombe went up in the play-offs, which they made after the season was curtailed and points per game decided final league standings.

Jombati played 20 times in the 2016/17 season when Wycombe finished third in League 2 to earn promotion.

He featured 26 times for League 2 Oldham last season.

The Portuguese defender stands at 6ft 4in and has previous non-league experience having also featured for Weymouth and Bath, who he will come up against in National League South this term - another team he won promotion with.

His form at Bath alerted Cheltenham and he was well liked at the Robins, winning player-of-the-year in his first campaign.
