Joey Barton has been rewarded for leading Bristol Rovers back into League One with a three-year contract extension, keeping him at the Gas until 2026.
Barton’s previous deal was due to expire next summer after he joined the club in February 2021 but having secured promotion in dramatic circumstances on the final day of last season, he’s further committed to the future vision of Rovers.
The Gas claimed automatic promotion from League Two via goals scored with an unprecedented 7-0 victory over Scunthorpe United on the final day of the campaign and are now preparing for life back in the third third.
