James Connolly admitted he’s been surprised by how often he has played since joining Bristol Rovers in January, but he is loving his time at the club and wants to make the most of the opportunity.
The 20-year-old signed for the Gas on January 8 on loan from Cardiff City and was thrown straight into the starting XI the very same day for the narrow FA Cup third-round defeat at Peterborough United.
Connolly was named on the bench the following week for the win over Hartlepool United but has played every minute since, establishing a growing partnership with Connor Taylor that has helped Joey Barton's Rovers keep six clean sheets from their last 10 games.
