It’s now been more than three weeks since the summer transfer window slammed shut, meaning Grant McCann has a clear idea of the Doncaster Rovers squad that he has to work with between now and the end of the calendar year as he aims to build on last season’s midtable finish.
Rovers made seven permanent signings in total over the summer, with goalkeeper Josh Clarke becoming the most recent of those when his loan move from Patrick Thistle was turned into a permanent after he made his competitive debut against Middlesbrough in the League Cup.
However, the biggest move of the summer in many people’s eyes wasn’t a signing, but the decision to extend the contract of club captain Owen Bailey following his sublime 16-goal campaign last term.
Here, we look at the contract status of every permanent player in the squad.
