Overview
- Rovers announced Lockyer has signed a contract described by the club as running until the end of the season, though some reports call it a one-year deal.
- Lockyer has not played since suffering a cardiac arrest during Luton Town’s Premier League match at Bournemouth in December 2023.
- He will wear the No. 12 shirt with the permission of the Bristol Rovers Supporters Club.
- Manager Darrell Clarke welcomed the move, praising Lockyer’s character and professionalism, while the player said he is focused on enjoying “the little wins” back on the pitch.
- Luton continued to support his rehabilitation after his contract expired, including access to facilities and minutes in training matches, and Rovers have not set a date for his second debut.
