Bristol Rovers hope to find a loan destination for Ryan Jones this season with the versatile young full-back having been among the more impressive individual performers in the early stages of the pre-season programme.
Rovers have rotated their teams across the two wins against Melksham Town and Eastleigh, with nearly four different starting XIs for each half of the 180 minutes, minus one exception: Jones has been the Gas’ left-back on each occasion, playing more minutes than any other player in the squad.
Having impressed in the 9-0 victory over Melksham, he built on that display on Saturday at Silverlake Stadium with a performance that was a good mixture of defensive tenacity, positioning and athleticism in tandem with Scott Sinclair.
