Bristol Rovers snap up Fulham youngster Brown

Bristol Rovers have agreed a deal to sign young Fulham midfielder Wayne Brown. The 21-year-old, who spent a spell on loan with Rovers at the end of the season, is set to sign a two-year contract with the League One club, subject to a medical.

"We have agreed terms on a two-year contract with Wayne, which we are very pleased about," boss Paul Trollope told the club's official website.

"Wayne made a good impact in his brief spell with us but unfortunately that was halted by injury.

"However, he showed in his appearances and in his training within the group that he fitted in with how we did things and what we expect from a player in terms of his quality and his attitude.

"I think he was keen to get back to us as well and we've managed to do the deal."

"I'm very much looking forward to working with him," Trollope added.

"He's a young player who we feel we can develop and make good progress with. He has a real desire to get back to playing at a high level and hopefully he can do that with us.

"He's a very versatile player who can play in all positions across midfield, as well as off a single striker and he will bring us creativity as well as providing a goal threat from a midfield area."
