Main forge link with Doncaster Rovers

2nd March, 2015

Rossington Main have joined up with Doncaster Rovers which could eventually see young up-and-coming local talent turning out regularly at Toolstation NCEL level.

Club Doncaster Foundation Academy coordinator Sam Parkin said: "Being able to work with such a well-established local club like Rossington is fantastic!

"It is a great way for our academy players to continue to develop their skills playing for the foundation midweek and Rossington on a Saturday, representing Rossington in either their U19s with long-term aspirations of students representing the first team as part of their development programme."

Five of the academy's players are trialling for Main with the hope of them signing in the next few weeks.

Rossington Main first team manager Steve Brennen added: "This is a great opportunity for the club to link to a well-structured academy set up at a professional club.

"It is a huge step forward for our Development Plan and will see some of the best young players in the local area getting the chance to play on our first team pitch in an U19 set up with a view of progressing up the football ladder."

Carl Stokes, Rossington's chairman, said: "The committee and I are absolutely delighted for our club to be linked with Doncaster Rovers FC.

"As a community based club, we feel it is our duty to help with the development of talented local players and this link goes a long way to doing this.

"I'm sure this announcement will excite an awful lot of people around our local area especially the Donny Rovers fans throughout the village. Let's hope we can treat them to another successful pre season friendly against Rovers.

"A special thank you to Sam and Steve for all the hard work behind the scenes to make this all possible."
