Bristol Rovers' promotion campaign was built on a bedrock of superior fitness and endurance that enabled their surge up the League Two table in the final weeks of the season.
Overseeing that success was Rovers' head of performance Tom Short, who was brought in from Burnley last summer by manager Joey Barton after they had worked together at Turf Moor.
It was an appointment that paid off hugely with the Gas peaking at the right time and overwhelming opponents later in the season, with their ability to score late goals proving pivotal in the big moments that defined the campaign.
