Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton says Ryan Jones’ new contract is reward for his performances on loan last season and has challenged the young midfielder to continue to improve on his watch.
Jones has followed fellow Gas youngster Harvey Greenslade in penning a one-year deal in BS7 as his previous agreement was due to expire at the end of the month. Like Greenslade, Jones spent the majority of the 2022/23 season out on loan, at National League South side Hungerford Town.
The versatile Jones made 10 appearances in a number of positions and having arrived in north Bristol from Weston-super-Mare in 2020, with the Gas paying an undisclosed to sign him after he underwent a trial at Fulham, is yet to fully settle into one role.
