Bristol Rovers will be aiming for success in the rest of the League Two season as the outfit looks to climb up the table and avoid relegation under new boss Steve Evans.

The Gas currently sit in 21st on 24 points due to a poor start to the season under Darrell Clarke, on Saturday they won 3-0 against Newport County.

Meanwhile the outfit’s top assister is Alfie Kilgour with four assists which has led to them missing 32 big chances.

Tommy Leigh

With this in mind, Rovers could look to recruit more than one midfielder on deadline day to help offer an option to the squad when they need a playmaking ability to help create a goal scoring chance.

Now, the Gas have agreed a potential loan deal for Bradford City midfielder Tommy Leigh according to Pete O’Rourke on his X account.

The 25-year-old has featured 16 times for Bradford City so far this season in League One and has picked up one goal and one assist in the league.

For Leigh a move to Bristol Rovers could offer an opportunity to regain form, compete with other midfielders and gain more game time.

It could be argued that the quality and inconsistency of Leigh in a League One side, the former MK Dons man moving to Bristol could be potentially right for both sides.

Leigh’s Previous League Two Stint

If he can hit the same form that he played with at Bradford City and MK Dons in League Two (where he made 33 appearances and picked up one goal and three assists. the 25-year-old could bring success to Bristol Rovers whilst proving to manager Steve Evans that he deserves to be chosen consistently.

Whilst the Gas are trying to get the addition over the line, Bristol Rovers supporters who hold interest could look to see how he could benefit the squad in the short term.
