Rovers are delighted to confirm the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Tyler Roberts on a season-long loan.
The 19-year-old, who can operate on either flank, signed his first professional contract in 2021 and has since gone on to make his full international debut for Jamaica as well as featuring for Wolves in the EFL Trophy, including scoring against Stockport County last season.
“I’m really excited to be joining Rovers,” Roberts said. “It’s a big step in my career, getting the first bit of first team action and playing in the league in real football.
“I’m excited to see how I will handle it.”
Roberts signed a contract extension at Molineux earlier this year, committing to the Premier League club until at least the summer of 2025.
He will join up with the Rovers squad on his return from international duty.
Manager Grant McCann said: “Tyler is a really exciting young winger that I’ve no doubt will get the fans off their seats. He’s direct and can play off the right or left side.
“We’ve been watching him for quite a while and we were really pleased when we heard we could get him here.
“This is his first loan but he’s more than ready for the step-up to men’s football and speaking to him, he’s really excited about the opportunity.
“Wolves have been brilliant, especially in recognising the importance of having players in from the start of pre-season. Tyler will be with us throughout and he’ll be ready to go.”
