Clarke on looking forward to pre-season.

Missed this from the OS....


Darrell Clarke is looking forward to the start of pre-season training on Monday.

Clarke said:
“I am looking forward to pre-season starting. It is going to be tough, the players are probably looking at one of the hardest pre-seasons they have ever had in their careers, but they are raring to go and looking forward to it. I am going to be running my eye over a number of trialists as well. It is vital to get the fitness levels right and get the players ready to play football at a high tempo from the very start.”

And the manager has been pleased with the players brought into the club so far.

Clarke said: “I am happy with the recruitment process so far, I am hoping to bring in another new face at the start of next week. It is interesting reading about all the offers I have made to players that have been rejected. I can confirm that there has been one official offer made that was rejected. I think one or two people try to use Bristol Rovers to get their wages increased elsewhere – but that is football.”

 

Clarke here has confirmed a new signing will sign early this week and he has made 1 bid for a player rejected - maybe the winger he mentioned last week?
