Ward makes first signings as Rovers boss
Bristol Rovers will today complete the loan signings of Colchester United midfielder John-Joe O’Toole and Queens Park Rangers striker Tom Hitchcock.
Both players will be included in the squad for tomorrow’s game against Plymouth Argyle at the Memorial Stadium (kick off 1.00pm).
Hitchcock, 20, made his league debut for Argyle while on loan with them last season. He began his career at Blackburn Rovers.
24-year-old O'Toole started his career at Watford and went on to make 57 league appearances whilst at Vicarage Road. He signed for Colchester after a successful loan spell, and has made 67 league appearances for The U's.
Rovers game off
Bristol Rovers match against Rotherham has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The pitch was still playable at 11am, but after continued heavy rain, referee Jame Linington took the decision to call off the game when he arrived at the stadium.
It means new manager John Ward will have to wait a little longer for his first game back in charge of the Pirates.
