Following a successful season in which Bristol Rovers achieved promotion to League One, Joey Barton is now looking ahead to next season with the hope of his side being able to retain their place in the league above. However, whilst planning for next season, the boss is also looking back at last season too.
Connor Taylor spent the season on loan with Bristol Rovers from Stoke City and was a regular part of the side making 47 appearances in all competitions and scoring three goals.
The 20-year-old’s impressive form saw him put pen to paper on a new three year deal with his parent club and Potters boss Michael O’Neill is said to be taking a look at the youngster before making any decisions about his future.
At the weekend, Stoke’s head of football operations Andy Cousins admitted that the defender could still stay or be loaned out this summer with a while still to go in the transfer window.
