“We’re happy with our recruitment for next season and will be announcing the names of our newcomers and those we have retained over the coming weeks,” said Rovers coach Jon Sharp.

“We are still keen to add to our squad before we return to training next month and I’m confident fans will be pleased with the look of it when completed.
