Alex Baptiste talks his future with Doncaster Rovers

Baptiste is closing in on a comeback to the senior squad, six months on from the Achilles tendon injury that he feared had ended his career.

The 34-year-old is out of contract with Rovers in May, having made only two appearances since signing following a successful trial.

But consideration over his future has been put on the back-burner.

“I’m out of a job in May,” he said. “I’ll just work as hard as I can.

“I don’t know what is going to happen.

“I’m just so happy to be back and involved in the squad and getting back towards playing again.

“I’m just taking it day by day and what happens in May, happens.

“I want to get in there and give it my best shot to see what happens.”

Baptiste has made two appearances for Rovers’ U23s side as part of his recovery and is set to feature again when they travel to Grimsby on Tuesday.

He hopes that once he is ready to step back up to senior level, he is doing so in a side chasing a play-off place.

“We’ve got an unbelievable chance,” Baptiste said.

“We’ve got 13 games to give it a good go.

“It’s in our hands. We play unbelievable football, we just need to start punishing teams.

“We’ve got a great chance and that’s the aim here and what we’re pushing for.”
