The 25-year-old, formerly of Ossett Town and Frickley Athletic becomes the third new signing made by Michael Morton and Simon Collins as the squad starts to take place for the 2017/18 season.
“I’m hugely excited to be part of a club that is looking to progress and continuously develop” said new signing Akeroyd.
“Once I’d met Mikey & Si it was an easy decision due to their clear passion and drive to succeed.”
“Hopefully I can play a part in Tad having great success. I can’t wait to get going!”
Manager Michael Morton expressed his delight in securing another player with bags of experience.
“Sam is a great signing for us. He’s got plenty of experience playing in the Evo-Stik Premier Division with Frickley where he captained the side so it’s another big boost for us.”
