Bristol Rover smash and grab

Breaking: Bristol Rovers confirm the arrival of Keycap digit four new signings!

All who have been captains at previous clubs.

Former Fleetwood Town midfielder Paul Coutts will be joined by his teammate at Highbury Stadium in Sam Finley plus left-back Nick Anderton, who was at Carlisle last season, and experienced centre-back Mark Hughes, most recently of Accrington Stanley.

All arrive on free transfers and send a significant message about Barton's intentions in how he envisages his version of Bristol Rovers taking shape, with all providing presence and leadership.

Coutts, 32, and Hughes, 34, have signed one-year deals while Finley, 28, and Anderton, 25, arrive on two-year contracts having all met this week at the Quarters alongside the coaching staff.

Thats a lot of season tickets for sure and still in May

Build it and they will come, (a good team that is not a mankover).
