Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton has been discussing the return of Luke McCormick to the Memorial Stadium. The Gas confirmed that the 23 year-old had re-joined the club from AFC Wimbledon, penning a three-year deal with Rovers.
McCormick was one of the standout players in Rovers’ disappointing 2020/21 season, in which the club was relegated to League Two.
McCormick made 39 appearances for the club that year, scoring six goals and getting two assists. Rovers boss Barton has expressed his delight over the signing, as quoted by the club’s website: “There were few positives to come out of my first few months at Rovers and the relegation into League Two, but without doubt Luke McCormick was one. “His effort and ability were clear to see when throughout that period he gave everything for our course in a tough time.
I’m delighted to be able to bring him back to Bristol Rovers permanently. “We are keen to sign good people and good players and he is both.
