Former Norwich City midfielder Matt Gill admits manager Paul Lambert convinced him about moving to Bristol Rovers.
While his former club Exeter City and Walsall - where Gill made eight appearances on loan last season - were both in the hunt, Gill decided a three-year deal at the Memorial Stadium suited him best.
"I had a few League One clubs in for me and a couple of offers on the table, but the chance to play for a big club like Bristol Rovers was too good an opportunity to miss," Gill told the Pink Un.
"I've worked with the manager (Paul Buckle) before at Exeter and had a really good relationship with him and this was another chance to link up with him. His management record speaks for itself and he was a major factor in my decision to come here."
