Familiarity breeds confidence for Joey Barton, as Jordan Rossiter becomes the fifth player the Bristol Rovers manager has brought down from former club Fleetwood Town.
Rossiter has signed a two-year contract in north Bristol to become the Gas’ first summer signing, just under a week before the squad return to The Quarters for the start of pre-season.
Following in the footsteps of Paul Coutts, Sam Finley, Harvey Saunders and the since departed Glenn Whelan, Rossiter shouldn’t take too long to settle in the dressing room, but Barton’s knowledge of the player extends far beyond his coaching days in the north west.
