Maybe they're Sincs', coz he's got his nice new kit.

‘Left lying around’ makes me think it’s someone signing permanently that we already had. I’d like it to be Jakubiak.

Mark Little www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2019/june/mark-little-signs/The club is delighted to announce the signing of right-back Mark Little from Bolton Wanderers, following the expiration of his contract. The deal will officially go through on July 1st and will be subject to EFL and FA approval. The 30-year old has a wealth of experience in the Football League, predominantly in the Championship, amassing just shy of 400 senior appearances; an average of just over 30 games per season. Little also has two promotions to his name, first with Peterborough United in 2011 following an impressive 3-0 play-off final win over Huddersfield Town at Old Trafford to send the Posh back to the second tier at the first time of asking. The second came with our rivals in red back in 2015, as Bristol City achieved promotion to the Championship by clinching the League One title - Little played 43 games in all competitions in that campaign. Following that promotion, he remained at Ashton Gate for a further two seasons, before moving onto Bolton in 2017, where he has been for the past two campaigns. Little began his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers and has also represented Northampton Town and Chesterfield. Manager Graham Coughlan said; "Mark is a player that should be playing at a higher level, he adds good quality and is a real all-rounder so we are delighted to bring him to the club. "He's got two promotions on his CV, an abundance of experience in the leagues and he knows what it takes to get out of this division."

Right back sorted at least with Parts as back up if he remains.

Should be a good signing, experienced at a decent level and still got some good years ahead of him. Hopefully a few more like this to add some know how with some young hungry players alongside

This can’t be Rovers. Making a reasoned and considered quality signing early in the window of a player that has league one promotions and a couple championship seasons under his belt?
At least he’ll get his wages here, poor guy hasn’t been paid in months at Bolton.

As with any signing we make, the proof will always be in the pudding (JCH proving much better than we thought / Garry Kenneth great on paper then turned out to be awful).
However I have to say fair play to GC and the board on this one. Very solid signing on paper. Let's hope he produces the goods for us.

A good experienced signing who will be good for league one. Maybe this explains why James Clarke left as he knew he would only be a back up.

On paper looks a very good addition - welcome Mark!
Only concern for me would be how little football he played in the season just gone (four appearances). Not sure if that was down to injuries or what, but let’s hope we can get him on the pitch regularly this season.

Looks like a very decent signing.
Has he been out injured does anyone know? Wiki page doesn't show any games played 2018/19 season or is it not up to date?

You can change the wiki page yourself if you like? May I suggest you make it out that he made 46 appearances last season and scored 10 goals from RB.
