1 week agoBristol Rovers sign Motherwell's Balmer on loan
Bristol Rovers have signed 25-year-old centre-back Kofi Balmer on loan from Motherwell until the end of the season.
Ian Holloway might have begun his career at hometown club Bristol Rovers but there will be no time for sentiment when he returns on Saturday in the opposition dugout for a competitive fixture for the first time. It was almost 30 years ago in 1996 when Holloway first stepped into the Memorial Stadium as a manager and, while his career since has taken him all across English football, he has never returned with another club until now with Swindon Town.
