Bristol Live reporting Exeter City head a queue of Colchester United, Mansfield Town & an unnamed L1 side to sign Alfie Kilgour from Bristol Rovers. Rovers would demand a fee!

Bristol Live reporting Exeter City head a queue of Colchester United, Mansfield Town & an unnamed L1 side to sign Alfie Kilgour from Bristol Rovers. Rovers would demand a fee! The best of luck to him he’s been a good servant for us, unfortunately he just doesn’t fit into our style of play anymore. I’m sure he will come good again where ever he goes. Good luck Alfie! 👍 |

What marshy said. Great lad, gas through and through and a quality player in a side that defended very well.
Not part of Joeys plans as his style evidently is not going to progress to be the ball playing CB we need, but still more than capable at a more "traditional" set up league 1 club or a promotion chasing league 2 side.
Good luck Alfie, you will always be remembered fondly by me. And for that goal! (Edit: and for marking JCH out of the game more than once)

Always sad to see a player leave the club he supports, Alfie has put everything into his appearances for us and always wore his shirt with pride as well as giving 100% for that shirt, I considered him a future captain a few seasons ago.
Thank you Alfie and good luck wherever your future takes you, I hope you continue your dream of being a professional footballer, albeit with another club.

I'd like him to stay,there are days when we need a old school centre half.

Robbed of an extra goal on his record away to Shrews (the 4-3 win under GC) with the worst offside decision in the history of the game. YouTube it

Just doesn’t fit the way JB wants to play, and these things happen. A move is best for all parties - it’s testament to Alfie that 99% of Gasheads will hope he lands a great move.

Newport play with a back 3 who all play regularly. Personally I dont think Newport will be his destination. |

I guess they remember how good a defender he was under GC and helped take us to 4th in League 1. If any League 1 club could help re-create that then they will have a bargain. Good luck to him, I hope he finds success. UTG! |

IF
AK leaves ,he will be looking to be a match starter most games. To kind of guarantee that league two might be his destination.
Wish him all the best in finding a good club.
Has certainly given everything for Rovers in his time here.

A bit like another "One of our Own", Ollie Clarke, both suffered more than one career threatening injuries.
If both avoided those injuries and had the extra yard or two of pace, both could have left earlier in their careers for a hefty transfer fee.
A star with the community trust, I expect Alf to return to the Mem, either playing against us, or for a charity match, or at a FPA event.
I hope we add several add ons to any transfer deal.
He has not had a run of games to get back up to speed with us, but at a different club, who can nurse him through development games, before he steps up to regular first team action, he may get the chance to replicate the no nonsense approach that got him noticed at higher level clubs a few seasons ago.
I just hope we get a replacement in first as many of our current defenders are a bit injury jinxed.
Best of luck Alf.

As a person and a player I have a lot of time for Alfie and I do think he’s a decent defender at this level (as proven with Coughlan) but as others have said he doesn’t quite fit how JB wants us to play now. I also think for his career he needs to be playing regularly as he’s too good to be constantly sat on the bench or not getting into match day squads. With talk of us potentially bringing in a new defender, unless we get injuries then he’ll only drop further down the pecking order which won’t help him or his career.
