Joey Barton wants more Bristolians in his team as he integrates academy prospect Harvey Greenslade into the first-team squad at Bristol Rovers.
The striker has spent time working with the Gas at The Quarters of late and he joined the team for their warm-up before Saturday's 0-0 draw with Forest Green Rovers at the Mem. Barton has been impressed by the second-year scholar, who has spent time out on loan in non-league at Cinderford Town, Tiverton Town and Tuffley Rovers this season.
Academy graduate Luca Hoole, aged 19, has been a key player for Barton's Gas this season, while boyhood Gashead Alfie Kilgour reached 100 appearances for the club this season. Highly-rated teenage goalkeeper Jed Ward, too, has been part of the first-team setup all season and Barton wants the club continually improve at developing its own talent.
