Doncaster Rovers have signed Alex Baptiste on a one-year deal.

The 33-year-old will provide valuable defensive cover and could make his debut against Gillingham tomorrow if Joe Wright fails to recover from a calf injury.

Baptiste played for Blackpool in the Premier League and more recently has spent time at QPR, Preston and Sheffield United.

Rovers are expected to confirm further new arrivals later today.
