Narrative:

I was getting relieved from work after one hour on local control position. Aircraft Y was in the traffic pattern doing touch and go's for most of the hour. During the position relief briefing; I noticed that aircraft Y was flying close to aircraft X who was on final approach. I took corrective action; asked aircraft Y if they were still on the downwind. They replied; 'affirmative.' then I instructed aircraft Y to turn left 10 degrees; to not cut off the traffic on final. Aircraft Y read back; 'turning left 10 degrees.' I then gave a traffic call. On the next sweep of the radar; I noticed aircraft Y had made a right turn toward aircraft X so I instructed aircraft Y to fly north and then continue north until advised. Aircraft X advised me that aircraft Y just flew beneath him about 200 feet away. I finished the relief briefing; and then went on break. I gave this pilot many control instructions and he read back everything in accordance with my instructions but still did the opposite of my instructions putting both aircraft at risk. I recommend the pilot in command get remedial training on compliance.
