Who moved where for Rovers in January?
InsCraig Alcock – Permanent – Versatile defender Alcock made his productive loan spell from Sheffield United in to a permanent transfer early on in the window, allowing Darren Ferguson to relax regarding his defensive options with the former Yeovil and Peterborough man comfortable anywhere across the back line.
Conor Grant – Loan – Ferguson wasted little time in extending the influential Scouser’s loan from Premier League Everton until the end of the season. The 20 year old’s four goals have all come in Rovers wins.
Lynden Gooch – Loan – A diminutive but powerful attacking thinking player, Gooch made his debut in the 0-0 draw with Fleetwood and was unlucky not open his account. The former USA U20 international, from Sunderland, significantly enhances Rovers striking options.
Eddy Lecygne – Loan – A former French U19 international, Lecygne is a versatile midfielder on loan from Stoke City. He made his debut as a substitute in the 2-1 defeat to Port Vale but showed touches of quality.
Chris Neal – Loan – Neal was a deadline day arrival as emergency cover for the injured goalkeeper Thorsten Stuckmann. The thirty year old stopper – on loan from Port Vale – has two promotions to boot on his impressive CV.
