After four consecutive starts, Lamare Bogarde can feel his confidence growing at Bristol Rovers and the Aston Villa prospect want to make sure he stays in the XI for the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old Dutchman joined the Gas on loan on January deadline day, impressing since in the heart of midfield in six appearances for Joey Barton's side.
After amassing extensive experience of youth football both with Villa – and his country at under-19s level – Bogarde is getting his first taste of the senior game. He says he was convinced to join the Gas after speaking to Barton amid interest from other clubs keen to take him on loan.
