Alfie Kilgour has thanked Bristol Rovers for allowing him to fulfil his “boyhood dream” as the defender has bid farewell to the club he's called home for nearly all his life.
A born-and-bred Gashead, Kilgour first joined the Rovers academy when he was just seven, rising through the ranks before making his debut in 2019 and establishing himself as a regular first-team presence under a succession of managers.
With his journey from the terraces to the hallowed turf of the Mem, the 24-year-old has been a constant throughout several years of significant change in north Bristol but he has left to join League Two Mansfield Town having fallen down the pecking order under Joey Barton.
