Klose was born in Frankfurt, West Germany, to a German father and a Swiss mother, and holds both citizenships

Alex Neil said: "Timm has got plenty of experience having played in the Bundesliga, in the Champions’ League and for his country, which will be an asset to us.

"As a player, he’s got good technical ability and he’s solid in the air. He can also play at either right centre-back or left centre-back.

"We’re delighted to have completed this deal and to have added Timm to our squad."

Klose, 27, featured against England in Switzerland’s recent Euro 2016 qualifying campaign as they finished runners-up to England, meaning they secured a spot at this summer’s tournament.
