One Direction's Louis Tomlinson appears in Football Manager 2014, as a defender for Doncaster Rovers.

The 1D singer will be available to buy, sell and even fine two weeks' wages in the popular management sim, after makers Sports Interactive included him due to his real life exploits with his hometown club.

The 21-year-old signed for Donny in August as a non-contract player, and the makers of the stupidly-addictive FM have included him as a right back in their Under-21s.

The youngster's attributes are modest, with ratings for tackling, marking, first touch and work rate all less than 10 out of 20).

The FM scouts - who have alerted football fans to tons of future stars years before their rise to prominence - believe Tomlinson to be a fairly composed individual, who possesses a fair amount of pace, with 10 scored for all three.

Tomlinson's highest-rating is 14, for bravery - despite the defender having to leave the pitch to throw up after a tackle from Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor in a charity match back in September.

And with FM's trademark of being highly-realistic, Tomlinson misses three months of action as he heads on a world tour with Harry, Zayn, Liam and Niall.

Following his inclusion in the game, the singer tweeted: "Absolutely loving @FootballManager 2014! Thanks so much for having me on the game :) ! #fm14"

The tweet, which he delivered to his whopping 13.8m followers has been retweeted more than 29,000 times.

Football Manager 2014 is the 10th edition of the series and has sold over 10m units so far. It is available now for Windows PC, Mac and Linux.
