Bristol Rovers have secured their first signing of the summer window with midfielder Jordan Rossiter signing from Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee.
Rossiter has signed a two-year contract at the Mem and is reunited with manager Joey Barton having worked with him at Highbury Stadium and previously at Rangers, where the pair were briefly teammates. The 25-year-old is a product of Liverpool’s academy and became the Reds' second youngest ever goalscorer after finding the target against Middlesbrough in the League Cup in 2014, aged 17.
Unfairly dubbed “the next Steven Gerrard” as he developed through the academy, he was unable to make a first-team breakthrough at Anfield and left in 2016 for Rangers where he made 16 appearances, playing alongside Barton in six games at the start of the 2016/17 season.
