Bristol Rovers coach outlines the short and long-term plan for new arrival Luke McCormick

Luke McCormick’s second Bristol Rovers debut will be delayed by at least another week after first-team coach Andy Mangan ruled him out of Saturday’s League One clash against Shrewsbury Town at the Mem.

McCormick completed his protracted return to Rovers this week, signing a three-year contract after exhaustive negotiations between the Gas and AFC Wimbledon dating back to the start of the transfer window, with Joey Barton having previously worked with the 23-year-old during his season on loan in 2020/21.

As a result, McCormick was sidelined by former manager Johnnie Jackson in south London and hasn’t been involved in any of their League Two fixtures this season meaning his match fitness isn’t at the required level.
