Earlier this month, Doncaster Rovers sent out a statement of intent by extending the contract of highly-rated midfielder Robbie Gotts.
The 27-year-old, who is currently in his second season at the Club Doncaster Sports Village, signed a new contract with Rovers, committing his future to the club until the summer of 2029, with an option for a further year.
“I think that's one way we have certainly improved as a football club over the past couple of years, is that we try and tie people down who deserve the opportunity and the chance,” Grant McCann explained.
“And Robbie is certainly one of these. We didn't need to do anything. He still had this year and next year sort of way on his contract, but we wanted to reward him for his determination and his performances. And I'm really pleased for Robbie.”
The Doncaster Rovers manager went on to explain that this is one of the big areas he believes the club have improved on in recent years, explaining that it wasn’t always the case that the club would future-proof its stars, particularly in his first campaign back at the club in 2023/24.
McCann also hinted that more contract news is likely to follow in the next few weeks.
With all that in mind, we look at the contract status of every permanent player in the squad, including the 10 players that are at risk of departing on a free transfer in the summer.
