There are hopes that Louis will both train and play with the team at some point during the season to help raise money for the charity.
The 21-year-old teen idol, who used to work at the club's stadium prior to his X Factor days, stated: "This has always been a childhood dream for me.
"I feel very honoured to have been asked to sign for Rovers and being able to help both the club and the amazing charity Bluebell Wood is what it's all about."
Doncaster Rovers' head of media, Steve Uttley, added: "Louis and I organised last season's charity game, in aid of Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice, which was a big success with over 9,000 fans attending.
"It was natural to follow on from that and Louis wanted more involvement to raise the profile of his home town club and Bluebell Wood. What started out as light-hearted banter on text has moved on to reality, which is a great coup for the club.
"Our next step is to get Louis on the pitch again in a Rovers kit."
And following his signing, bookmakers Paddy Power have already priced up Tomlinson’s chances of cracking the beautiful game, marking his chances of playing for England at 500/1.
