Tom Nixon played down the thinking that went into his wonder strike but admitted he was buzzing to have scored on his full senior league debut.
The 20-year-old cracked in a stunning volley to put Rovers ahead against Mansfield Town, with the game ultimately finishing as a 2-2 draw.
“It’s just fallen out to me on the edge of the box, popped up and I thought ‘why not, just have a go’,” he said. “There was nothing behind it, just a hit and hope.
“Luckily it’s gone in the top corner and I’m buzzing with it.
“It’s a special feeling scoring my first league goal on my first league appearance and I’m absolutely buzzing.”
