Joey Barton has revealed Bristol Rovers won’t be offering promotion hero Harry Anderson a new contract due to the versatile winger’s injury issues this season but will invite him back for the chance to earn a deal over pre-season.
Anderson is one of seven first-team players who, as it stands, become free agents this summer and Barton will sit down with a number of members of his squad over the next 24-48 hours to discuss their futures and prospects in BS7.
The Rovers manager has already had such a conversation with Anderson, who’s been limited to just 13 starts in 2022/23 after suffering groin and foot problems and has managed just 97 minutes over six appearances since February.
