Joey Barton declared he wanted "five or six" more signings for Bristol Rovers for the upcoming League One campaign after kicking off pre-season with a 6-1 win at Melksham Town.
One of those additions has been completed with the arrival of John Marquis after his release by Lincoln City, taking the number of incoming at the Mem to four for the summer so far.
With striker Marquis, midfielder Jordan Rossiter and defenders James Gibbons and James Connolly, Barton's squad is taking shape nicely as Rovers prepare to step up to the challenge of League One, but there are still areas that need addressing, ideally by the time the season starts with the visit of Forest Green Rovers on July 30.
