Anderson told the club website:, external "I first heard about the contract on Monday. I was delighted to get it over the line and done quickly.
"I had a great time at Doncaster, but everything comes to an end.
"I will give 100% commitment, I will put my body on the line and be a really good defender but I am also very capable of playing good football."
Director of football Micky Moore added: "He's a player we've identified as possessing the qualities and character that we feel have been lacking in the squad.
"He has a strong presence both on and off the pitch, he is a leader, and he arrives having played a key role in Doncaster's title-winning campaign.
"Tom brings a wealth of experience, I think his arrival is a real coup for the football club."
