Buckle links up again with former Torquay winger

Bristol Rovers have signed winger Mustapha Carayol on a two-year deal from Lincoln City. The left-sided player, who joins for an undisclosed fee subject to a medical, will link up again with Pirates boss Paul Buckle. The duo worked together at Torquay before Carayol departed for Sincil Bank last summer, where he was unable to prevent the Red Imps suffering relegation out of the Football League. Buckle told the club's official website: "I am really delighted to be working with Mustapha again. "I rather reluctantly sold him to Lincoln when I was at Torquay, but it will be fantastic to link up with him again. "He has a lot of pace and trickery and is a very exciting player. He is still young, and I am sure the Rovers fans will love watching him."
