Kohler has signed a one-year contract with the option of a second season.

On the 24-year-old, who can cover at full-back, wing and centre and has previously played for Bedford Blues, Albion coach James Shanahan said: “I first saw him when he was playing for Bedford.

“I tried to sign him when I moved to Plymouth last year and have had him on my radar for a while.

“Mark’s keen to have another go at Championship rugby and he has family in the West Country.

“He is a very physical player who has good pace and he’s a strong ball carrier.”
