Some big players signed... In terms of height.
18ft 3in for the last 3 signings...
No info for Josh Grant height on wiki, so probably a shorty.

Welcome young man, love these type of signings, hungry to prove themselves at a higher level and prepared to work and learn, we have unearthed some gems in the past and though it does not always work, better than signing those on a downward path with baggage, up the Rovers!

A very interesting signing, I would not be surprised if he breaks through as a first team regular quite quickly

Bold statement for sure. Our signings have been encouraging but let’s not get carried away. They’re good textbook signings but they cannot be judged until at least half a season in. Many were saying in January we’d had our strongest window ever but from my point of view they didn’t cover themselves in glory. The loan signings did well but the permanent signings hardly got a game in. I made sure I added that ‘could’ for good reason so didn’t sound too definitive. But so far I’ve been very impressed, I believe our centre backs are very well covered now, and fullbacks with Little and Kelly covering Hare and Leahy. Luca Hoole can also cover whilst learning. Forwards are almost sorted, Effective difference in strength and skill for JCH, Ayunga and Daly, with either Phillips or Hulbert breaking through. Wingers are almost there. Nicholson, Rodman, Barrett. if we could get JML back/failing that another winger to come in. Zain Walker also breaking through and Bennett could be called upon. I hope now we can bring in a creative creative CM Who can string this all this together. But even then Grant, Upson ogogo and Hargreaves can all do a job there, with Tomlinson also covering. Obviously I know we don’t know how this is all going to play out, but on paper alone, we are starting to look really strong all over the park, something I can’t really think we’ve had for the best part of 10 years. I still think we may need another 2-3, one in CM, a winger and possible another forward. But really if this was the squad for next season I’d be very happy for it to compete 50-60 games. What’s this Walker lad like? Hearing a lot of clubs higher up the pyramid are very interested in him. Anyone seen him play a bit ??

No doubt we will still bring in a few loan signings anyway, I still feel we did a goalscorer to replace Nichols & Reilly or otherwise we're relying upon JCH, if he stays, and youngster Daly as far as the starting 11 goes, assuming Ayunga is seen as one for the future and not to play alongside JCH, with BG going for a team of 6+ players!

The club is good at signing non league strikers and developing them into accomplished football league marksman so hopefully Ayunga will become the latest in a long line of strikers to make his name at the gas.
Like as has already been said, it’s a fair step up from the National League but he has all the attributes to trouble opposition defences being strong, tall and evidently good at finding the net scoring 20 goals last year. Welcome to the club Jonah.

With all these new signings, people will be saying next that we will be one of the front runners for promotion

Is he the first Jonah to sign for Rovers ? Beyond the obvious implied joke, no! Jonah Wilcox scored 19 goals in 32 games from 1925-26.

Jonah Wilcox scored 106 goals in 219 league appearances, so must've been quite a player.
