With an intensive schedule and multiple sessions each day, there are few better opportunities for young players to impress their manager than a pre-season training camp, and several Bristol Rovers youngsters are hoping to stake a claim this week.
The Gas are midway through their stay in Vilamoura, Portugal, with Joey Barton and his staff putting the players through their paces as the new League One season edges closer with places in the squad still up for grabs.
Barton showed last season he is not afraid to put faith in younger players and there are several who hope to win his trust this week in the Algarve.
