"I'd block anything, tackle anything and I'll be composed on the ball." That's Bobby Thomas, who sounds like a centre-back Bristol Rovers fans will take a liking to.
That was certainly the case when he made his debut in the blue and white quarters on Saturday. The 21-year-old, a deadline-day loan signing from Burnley, caught the eye with a battling performance capped with a goal 10 minutes from time to earn the Gas a 2-2 draw against Morecambe.
Thomas has been out on loan before, enjoying a stint in League Two with Barrow two seasons ago, but he has not played first-team football since and he did not require much convincing to make the season-long move to Joey Barton's Gas.
