Bristol Rovers Sign Midfielder Romaine Sawyers

Bristol Rovers have signed experienced midfielder Romaine Sawyers on a contract until the end of the season, marking their first signing of the January transfer window. The 33-year-old, who has played over 500 professional games and has 49 international caps for St. Kitts and Nevis, joins the club in a bid to bolster their squad's leadership, as they currently sit 20th in League One, just above the relegation zone. Sawyers expressed gratitude for the opportunity, stating his intention to repay the club's faith with strong performances. His previous stints at clubs such as Brentford and Cardiff City highlight his extensive experience, which is seen as vital given Rovers' youthful squad composition. Head coach Iñigo Calderón praised Sawyers for his known qualities and expected contributions to the team. The midfielder also expressed excitement about playing in front of the Bristol Rovers fans, starting with an upcoming FA Cup match against Ipswich Town.
