“The Club is delighted to announce that left-sided defender David Tutonda has joined the Gas on a free transfer. The Kinshasa-born 24-year-old joins following a promising few campaigns with Barnet FC, and signs a two year deal at the Mem. Tutonda developed through the Cardiff City youth system, joining as a youth player in 2012. In his time with the Welsh side, the defender featured on loan for both Newport County and York City in League Two.“ “Following his release from Cardiff, Tutonda journeyed to London to link up with a Barnet side who at the time, were plying their trade in the 4th tier of English football. The full-back went on to make over 100 appearances in all competitions for the Bees before leaving at the end of the 2019-20 season, following the end of his deal. Tutonda now links up with the Gas just a week away from their first game of the 2020-21 campaign, following a successful spell as a trialist with the club.“ “On the signing, manager Ben Garner said, “We are pleased to welcome David to the Club. He provides further quality to our squad. David is very humble and his character will fit in very well here. "David has a number of very good attributes in terms of what we were looking for, and we also see the potential to really develop his game moving forwards. With a number of options available to him, David showed a really strong desire to join us and we are very happy to get this deal done.” www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2020/august/david-tutonda-signs/

Are we going to be under or overwhelmed?
Could it be our new superstar striker, or could it be the trialist Left back?

He looks too slim for Tutonda? (hopefully anyway!)

I'm happy with this. Most felt we needed a LB on here. Was my 3rd priority but glad were looking at non league again.

Looked promising on trial, had a few good campaigns with Barnet. Also possesses attributes we don't have at the club. I can see him being a bit like Josh Hare tbh! He probs is on peanuts as well, so little risk.

Really great that we've moved to replace JCH so quickly. Think this guy will settle in nicely and I can see him bagging 15-20 this season. He's scored more recently than JCH as well so he's clearly an improvement.
Well done all involved

Looks like a very decent signing with little risk attached wages wise.Think he will do well and be 1st choice at left back soon enough.
