Bristol Rovers have signed defenders Lamare Bogarde and Calum Macdonald after leaving it late on transfer deadline day.
Bogarde, a 19-year-old Dutchman who can play as a centre-back and a defensive midfielder, joins on loan from Premier League club Aston Villa, while 25-year-old left-back Macdonald has signed from Stockport County on a permanent deal.
Their arrivals, which were announced in the final five minutes of the transfer window, take the total number of incomings for the month to five, adding vital depth for Joey Barton, who had been short on numbers in defence.
