Fantastic news.
We’ll sell that boy for big money in a few years, IMO.

www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2019/august/alfie-kilgour-contract/Bristol Rovers are delighted to announce that centre-back Alfie Kilgour has today signed a new contract with the Club... Kilgour is a product of the Rovers youth academy, and since signing his first professional deal, has gone from strength to strength. The center-back gained experience through a series of loans in lower divisions, progressing up the footballing ladder each year as his game developed. He began his loan stints with local side Mangotsfield United, and has since played for Cirencester Town, Hungerford Town, and most recently, Maidenhead United in the Vanarama National League in the 2018/19 season. However, in March of the 2018/19 season, Kilgour was recalled from his time in the National League, having impressed the manager, he returned to the first team, and made four league appearances for the Gas, making his EFL debut against Gillingham. This 2019/20 campaign has already marked another waypoint in the youngster's career, managing to stake a real claim for a spot in the first 11. He has already played five games for Rovers this season, with the Gaffer continuing to sing his praises. Coughlan commented on Kilgour's deal saying, "He's a player with a lot of potential, he's got a fantastic ability to adapt and learn. "I've really enjoyed working with Alfie and he's repaid the faith that we have shown in him. "We've already seen how well he's performed in the opening few games of this season, and this new contract is a testament to our belief in his continued development at the club."

Great news.
He's already improved from last season to this and will no doubt continue to get better.

Fantastic news. We’ll sell that boy for big money in a few years, IMO. If he keeps up his form then we will be accepting the first bid we receive for him this summer! Probably around 250k! |

The fact we got no money for Lockyer has now passed me by because we have a complete centre back in Kilgour.. How refreshing is it to see him get the ball to feet and knocking balls around the pitch like a championship player and he’s only going to get better. I love seeing him in our back four and to me an upgrade from locks, Let’s hope he goes from strength to strength and we keep for a while. Said it in the last post but realised I forgot to mention, I actually read this exact post word for word to Alfie on the podcast. He was pretty taken aback by it, given he looks up to Locks' so highly. gascastpodcast.co.uk/post/episodes/a-chat-with-alfie-kilgour/ |

What a player this lad is and can become. As others have said and I can only concur, delighted to see another club-grown player take the field and definitely a future captain at this rate.
Side note, and it is of course only speculation, but anyone have any "ITK" hunch as to the length of the deal? Rovers obviously never disclose contract lengths as policy but you'd assume probably three years, or two with a one-year option?

We shouldn't be developing any youngsters and giving them playing time unless we're fully contractually protected. Any promising youngster applying his trade in L1 could be worth millions very quickly. It's really positive news. |

If he has a fantastic season then at what-will-be 22 he'll definitely have admiring glances from the Championship (Brentford and Barnsley have excellent recruitment models in this sense). |

I really hope he hasn't signed a 3 year deal, that would mean his contract would end when he's 24, do you all want him to leave on a free like Lockyer? 2 year deal all the way. |

Just viewed Alfie's Wikipedia page - one suspects there has been some recent editing judging by the opening sentence.
