Prior to that he played for a number of teams including Blackpool, Hartlepool United, Scunthorpe United, West Bromwich Albion and St Johnstone.
He will also be registered as a player to provide cover for the Club’s other goalkeepers should it be needed.
Tranmere kick off their npower League One campaign at Prenton Park tomorrow with a 3pm game against Oldham Athletic.
Manager Les Parry said: "I'd like to welcome both Max and Simon to the Club.
"Max has done well during his trial here and he can play in a holding midfield role as well as in defence.
"He's a good addition to the squad and I've been very impressed with his attitude since he has been with us.
"Simon is an experienced goalkeeper who has a good track record in coaching.
"He's enthusiastic and hard working and will help improve Gunnar Nielsen, Joe Collister and Andy Coughlin."
