Bristol Rovers view deadline-day signing Lamare Bogarde primarily as a midfielder, according to first-team coach Andy Mangan, who believes the Gas are in a stronger position than at the start of the January transfer window.
Alongside left-back Calum Macdonald, Aston Villa prospect Bogarde was one of two late additions before Tuesday's transfer deadline. Bogarde, a 19-year-old Dutch youth international, has joined on loan until the end of the season and has played in defence and midfield in Villa's youth setup.
But Mangan says the Gas are planning for him to play in the middle of the park, with a debut likely at some point during Saturday's League One clash against MK Dons at the Mem.
