Ex-Doncaster Rovers man signs for non-league club despite "interest from several League Two clubs"
Zain Westbrooke has landed himself a new club, just weeks after leaving Doncaster Rovers.
The central midfielder, 29, spent just over three years with Rovers having joined in early 2023. But he struggled massively for game time and made just 53 outings, the last of which was on the final day of the title-winning 2024-25 season.
He spent the vast majority of last term on loan at Scunthorpe, helping them reach the National League play-offs. After his release by Rovers, he's not taken long to snap up a new club. Thursday night saw the news announced that Westbrooke had landed a three-year contract at Yeovil Town.
Boss Billy Rowley said of the capture: "Zain is a clever, experienced midfielder who will bring a lot of calm to the team, but also the bite and competitiveness you need to win games.
"His passing range is top class, he reads the game really well, and he’s got the quality and personality to control matches. His experience will be massive for us over the course of the season, and we’re delighted to bring him to Yeovil Town.”
In a statement on their website, Yeovil claimed that Westbrooke "attracted interest from several clubs across both League Two and the National League".
