Former Bristol Rovers loanee Lewis Gibson has completed a permanent transfer to Plymouth Argyle, earning the Championship move Joey Barton long suspected he would make.
Gibson was Rovers’ best defender in League One last term, after arriving on a season-long loan from Everton, emphasised by how vulnerable the Gas looked when the 22-year-old wasn’t in the team.
With his deal at Goodison Park expiring this summer, Rovers were keen to bring him back to the Mem but knew it was a long shot given Gibson was being watched by Championship clubs.
