The 33-year-old arrives at Highbury after spending the last month on a non-contract basis at Port Vale.

The midfielder played exactly 100 league games for the Tangerines after joining from Coventry in August 2006.

He was in the starting line-up at Wembley when Pool beat Yeovil to secure promotion in the League One play-off final.

His final appearance came on the last day of the last season at Swansea, when he came on as a late sub.

And Town chairman Andy Pilley says it's a huge deal for the club.

"I'd like to welcome Claus to Highbury and to Fleetwood Town Football Club," he said.

"We know all about him and he is a fantastic professional.

"He's a box-to-box midfield player full of the attributes you would want any professional footballer to possess.

"He will be a shining example to the players on, and off, the pitch on how to conduct themselves and play a professional game."

After being released by The Seasiders at the end of last season, Jorgensen joined Port Vale where had made five substitute appearances for Micky Adams' side.

However, after Vale failed to match Jorgensen's demands, he opted to look for another club.

The Dane will go straight into the squad for tonight's game away at Farsley.

Joining him will be former Bury striker Gareth Seddon.

The 29-year-old Kettering Town star, who hit 23 goals Conference last year, joins Town for a significant fee.
