IRISH MIDFIELDER GLENN Whelan has joined League Two side Bristol Rovers on a one-year deal.
The move sees the 37-year-old reunite with manager Joey Barton, who he worked with at Fleetwood Town. Whelan has been without a club since he left Fleetwood at the end of last season.
“We are delighted to add Glenn to the group, his experience will be a huge asset for us this season,” said Barton.
“His arrival also gives us another option in the midfield area. He’s been training with us now for a few weeks, so is ready to get started and help us achieve our goals this season.”
