One of the first names produced by the transfer rumour mill this summer as far as Bristol Rovers are concerned was Tyler Walker, the Coventry City striker who has shone in the past but has lost his momentum.
While on the books of Nottingham Forest, the son of 59-cap England international Des Walker had superb loan spells with Mansfield Town and Lincoln City. At Field Mill in 2018/19, Walker scored 26 goals in 50 games, and when he stepped up to League One with the Imps the following year, he scored 16 before being recalled to the City Ground in the January transfer window.
In the summer of 2020, he would be snapped up by Coventry City after they were promoted to the Championship, but the upward trajectory he enjoyed before joining Mark Robins' side has slowed, struggling with the Sky Blues and on a loan spell at Portsmouth since January. His past two seasons have culminated in 14 goals, a significant drop off from the prolific edge he showed with the Stags and the Imps.
