I guess the January thing works for both. Limits our spend if it doesnt work out or gets injured, and allows him to prove himself for a bigger move or fall in love with the place and fire us to the play offs.

Should be a very good signing. Undoubted quality, bags of experience and shouldn't be over the hill a 33.
He may get a Championship move in January but only if he does exceptionally well for Rovers because there obviously weren't too many offers in the summer.
If he's enjoying life at Rovers and playing regularly, he may not want to move to a Championship club where he might get much less game time. At this stage of his career, I would think playing regularly in L1 would be far better than warming the bench in the Championship.
Providing he does well and stays fit I'm optimistic he'll sign a longer deal in January.

This signing has all the potential to be as important and impactful as Eliot Anderson last season. While Scott is at the other end of his career to Eliot, he has proven abilities, goal scoring calibre and is plainly still fighting fit.
I remember watching him come on as sub for Junior and wondering how many games he'd play for us. Two wasn't the expectation. 😁
Warm welcome Scott. UTFG 🏴☠️🏴☠️

Amazing the stadium he returns to is exactly the same as the day he left! I know right. Wael's a d!ck for not sorting this simple issue out.

"I'm delighted to back at the place where my career began. I've been training for a couple of weeks and The Quarters is certainly very different to where we trained when I was younger!” Almost like hes read this thread🤣🤣 If he read Gaschat he’d know houses were soon being built on the training ground. Perhaps that’s why he’s only signed a short term deal - one for the anti Wael conspiracy theorist’s 😁!! Post of the day! Can't imagine how sad it must be, not able to enjoy the good stuff when it happens. Obsessed with one thing, and trying to drag the rest of us into the depths of despair which he permanently lives in.

New Rovers signing SCOTT ANDREW SINCLAIR Born 29.3.1989 Bath Size 5’ 10”; 10 st 1 lb Forward Rovers League Début: 26.12.04 v Leyton Orient Career: Ralph Allen School; Bath Arsenal; Bristol Rovers [0+2,0]; 2.6.05 Chelsea (£200,000) [1+4,0]; 19.1.07 Plymouth Argyle (loan) [8+7,2]; 6.11.07 Queen’s Park Rangers (loan) [8+1,1]; 5.3.08 Charlton Athletic (loan) [0+3,0]; 27.3.08 Crystal Palace (loan) [6,2]; 6.1.09 Birmingham City (loan) [8+6,0]; 5.8.09 Wigan Athletic (loan) [1+17,1]; 7.8.10 Swansea City (£1,000,000) [74+8,28]; 31.8.12 Manchester City (£6,200,000) [2+9,0]; 22.8.13 West Bromwich Albion (loan) [4+4,0]; 30.1.15 Aston Villa (loan); 19.5.15 Aston Villa (£2,500,000) [24+12,3]; 7.8.16 Celtic (£3,500,000) [77+28,40]; 8.1.20 Preston North End [50+28,12] (released, 9.5.22). Twenty-five goals for the Under-16 side before Christmas 2004, including hat-tricks against Exeter City and Bath City, proved too great a temptation to resist. Slim, quick striker Scott Sinclair was given his League début on Boxing Day, his solitary minute on the pitch that day making him, at fifteen years 277 days, the youngest player since 1928 to appear in the League for the club and the second youngest ever. The middle of three boys to Martin Sinclair, a semi-professional player in the Bath area, and his wife Sally Edgell, his elder brother Martin represented the Great Britain Cerebral Palsy football side in the 2012 Paralympics and his younger brother Jake is on the books of Southampton and had a trial with Rovers in 2015; young Scott made a dramatic impression at Rovers and was soon snapped up by Chelsea, where he scored twenty-five times in youth and reserve football before breaking a bone in his foot on his League début against Manchester United in January 2007. “He’s like Dash from that film The Incredibles”, said Ian Holloway. A talented rugby full-back and a keen sprinter, Sinclair spent several spells on loan, playing alongside Barry Hayles at Holloway’s Plymouth, for whom he scored an astonishing FA Cup goal against Barnet after a mazy run from inside his own penalty area seven minutes from time. Sinclair inspired Swansea to a hugely successful 2010-11 season, completing a League Cup hat-trick at Peterborough in September 2010 and finishing the season at Wembley, where the South Walians returned to top-flight football with a 4-2 play-off final victory over Reading; Sinclair scored a hat-trick on the hallowed turf, a 21st-minute penalty, another goal a minute later and a second penalty ten minutes from time to secure promotion. His form in the Premier League attracted champions Manchester City, who paid a large sum for his services on his return from the 2012 London Olympics, where he scored for Team GB against the United Arab Emirates on their way to eventual quarter-final defeat. An England cap at various youth age groups, he scored once in seven games for the Under-21 side. However, Sinclair’s first season with Manchester City was a disappointment, his side finishing runners-up in the League and being defeated by unfashionable Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup Final, although he barely made the first-team, and he was subsequently sent out on loan. His arrival at Villa Park signalled a sea change in his fortunes, as early goals (two in the FA Cup and a League strike at home to Stoke) ensured his popularity and he played in the FA Cup semi-final victory over Liverpool which set up a May 2015 Wembley final against Arsenal in which he remained an unused substitute. A regular in Tim Sherwood’s Villa side, he scored a hat-trick in a League Cup-tie against Notts County in August 2015, but Villa slumped to the foot of the table and were relegated to the Championship at the end of that season. Sinclair’s final action with Villa was a pre-season friendly against Rovers, before a high-profile move north of the border saw him score in his first six Scottish League appearances. He was in the Celtic side which lost 7-0 at Barcelona in the Champions League in September 2016, but the Celts drove all before them in a hugely successful season, becoming the first Scottish top division side since Rangers in 1898-99 to complete a domestic League season undefeated, and Sinclair’s star shone brightly as they went on to complete an unprecedented “Treble Treble”, winning League, Cup and League Cup in 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19. Voted SPFA Player of the Year in 2017, he was second highest scorer in the Premier League behind Ross County’s Liam Boyce. A hat-trick at Hearts in April 2017 came on the day Celtic secured the League title and, having won the League Cup, they completed the domestic treble by beating Aberdeen 2-1 in the Scottish Cup Final. Twelve months later, the Celts retained all three titles, Sinclair playing the final sixty seconds of the Scottish Cup Final and notably scoring, against Hamilton Academical in December 2017, the 100,000thgoal registered in top-flight Scottish football. On Boxing Day 2018 he struck an impressive hat-trick at Pittodrie, as the Celts defeated nearest rivals Aberdeen 4-3 in an entertaining fixture to stamp their control on the Premier League season once again. Another hat-trick, against St Johnstone in February 2019, eased Celtic towards the Scottish Cup Final of 2019, where Michael Smith’s Hearts were defeated 2-1 at Hampden Park. He is engaged to Helen Flanagan, who plays Coronation Street’s Rosie Webster, and the couple have two daughters, Matilda, born in June 2015 and Delilah, born in June 2018 and a son, Charlie, born in May 2021.
