By his own admission, Luke McCormick hasn’t been anywhere near his best since becoming a permanent Bristol Rovers player for the first time but with the momentum of the Gas and the guidance of Joey Barton, the midfielder believes he can reach new heights in his career.
McCormick was arguably Rovers’ most high-profile signing of the summer as an exhaustive two-month attempt to land the 23-year-old from AFC Wimbledon finally ended in late August with Rovers agreeing an undisclosed six-figure sum.
It reunited the former Chelsea academy starlet with Barton after his successful, at least on an individual level, loan spell in the 2020/21 season and with another full EFL campaign under his belt with the Dons, the Gas would see an even-more-improved McCormick.
