Rovers played out two friendly draws on Saturday

Doncaster Rovers manager Grant McCann refused to be drawn on a pair of fresh transfer reports involving his club.

Saturday saw Rovers split their squad in two, playing out draws with non-league pair Harrogate Town and Gainsborough Trinity respectively. Those two matches came just hours after reports emerged that the club had accepted a bid from Salford City for Luke Molyneux. The winger recently rejected a new deal and it's now claimed an offer from the League Two club has been accepted.

Another publication also suggests that former Cheltenham winger Jordan Thomas has agreed to join McCann's side as a free agent.

When quizzed by the Free Press on the Molyneux developments, McCann gave short shrift, saying: "There's nothing (to add) from what I spoke about the other day."

That, of course, is a reference to the bombshell news that McCann delivered on Thursday regarding Molyneux turning down a new offer and the club having rejected an initial bid from a club that was considered derisory.

Similarly, the Rovers chief was tight-lipped over the seemingly looming move for Thomas, who operates mainly on the right flank. "Again, there's nothing (more than) what we spoke about the other day," McCann replied. "Hopefully Monday we'll see some developments."

McCann was speaking after the goalless draw with Gainsborough - a particularly dour affair where Rovers failed to properly test their non-league opponents.

Of that game, he reflected: "Today we were just safe, I would say. It was just a safe sort of performance. I just said to the lads that we're only two weeks away from the first game, so we need to get the safety catch off now. Too many times where we had opportunities to score and we passed, or we had a good chance to cross and we hit the first man, so there's lots to learn."

Arguably the only pleasing half of football that McCann saw today came in the second 45 minutes of the 2-2 draw with Harrogate with goals from Bayley McCann and Owen Bailey clawing back a half-time 2-0 deficit. He added: "I think it (Harrogate match) was a game of the conditions, to be honest. The two halves were probably chalk and cheese."

Rovers continue their pre-season schedule on Wednesday night when Wolves visit Club Doncaster Sports Village.
