The 22-year-old midfielder made his debut in yesterday's 3-2 friendly victory over Croatian side NK Varazdin after impressing during a trial on Teesside.

Mowbray told the club's official website, www.mfc.co.uk: "Malaury can do a bit of everything and will be a useful addition to our midfield.

"He can pass, tackle and defend and he has a great shot on him, so we will try to utilise his talents."

Free agent Martin, a former France Under-21 international, spent last season at Blackpool, but injuries did not allow him to make a first-team appearance.
