Trollope: Strengthening squad

Bristol Rovers boss Paul Trollope has strengthened his squad with the signing of Liam Harwood.

The defender arrives at the Memorial Stadium from Carshalton Athletic on a one-year deal.

Harwood trained with Rovers towards the end of last season and played in one reserve game.

He impressed Trollope sufficiently to earn a contract and will now compete for a place in central defence.

Earlier on deadline day, Rovers allowed Andy Williams to join Hereford on loan until January.
