Iām gonna no signing today - Moore is in Dubai supposedly, and Sinclair here there and everywhere still. The Club announce the Charlie White new deal as a nice touch heading into the weekend. Expect we will get Moore & Sinclair before Melksham next Friday thatās for sure.

This is kind of feeling like the squad Widdrington gifted Garner with, a lot, maybe too many new young players who will be stepping up a few levels. I sincerely hope these signings this week will get balanced with some serious experience, otherwise we will be in trouble. I get this, I really do. I do think the recruitment has to be looked at after weāre finished though. Itās like going on Ready, Steady, Cook, pulling ricotta out the bag first and saying āIām making a cheesecakeā without knowing the other ingredients are pasta and spinach. |

Bristol Rovers is delighted to confirm the signing of defender Bryant Bilongo, subject to EFL and FA ratification.
The left-back moves to The Memorial Stadium for an undisclosed fee from Sky Bet Championship side Middlesbrough and has put pen-to-paper on a two-year deal with Rovers, with an option for a further year.
A pacey full-back, Bilongo first caught the eye with a host of blistering performances in the Isthmian League Premier Division and now brings his talents to the Pirates ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
The 22-year-old is the Club's fifth signing of the summer and follows Isaac Hutchinson, Clinton Mola, Ruel Sotiriou and Dan Ellison in joining the Gas.
āIt means a lot to sign for Bristol Rovers,ā Bilongo said. āMy career has been such a journey so far and to continue it by signing

Surely we are going 5 from 5 today, but who? ODDS Moore - 2/1 Sinclair - 3/1 Sinclair & Hoole - 6/1 Someone unexpected - 4/1 who had someone unexpected at 4/1?! Should have known the gas would sneak another under the radar. Can't say I know anything about him, but that is 0 to 3 left backs in a couple of days. Welcome Bryant Bilongo!! |

Loving these signings .... never heard of most of them. Pirate - any help onĀ Bryant Bilongo?! Forward thinking left back/wing back. Was coached from a young age by Nigel James, the father of Reece and Lauren, and then when Nigel James became Kingstonian u18s manager he switched from Hanworth Villa to Kingstonian and quickly progressed into first team. During his time at Kingstonian, James recommended Bilongo to Chelsea and he went on trial at the club, before signing for Middlesbrough. |

Sounds promising especially if he can add a bit of strength and pace down the left side. From what I have read his attitude seems to be top notch. Just what we need. |

Maybe he has contacts there? |

Friend well respected at the club and will have plenty of contacts up there. |

Huddersfield have agreed a fee for Charltons Alfie May. So much for wanting to be closer to home š
