The 2016–17 season was the 134th season in Bristol Rovers' history and their 89th in the English Football League. Following back-to-back promotions in 2014–15 and 2015–16, Rovers competed in the third tier of English football, League One. What was a steady season, Rovers played the likes of Coventry and Chelsea (in the EFL Cup) for the first time in decades. After a brief playoff push towards the end of the season, Rovers finished in a respectable 10th place with 66 points, their highest finish in the football league since the 1999–2000 season.
Season events
[edit]Pre-season
[edit]Rovers manager Darrell Clarke was quick to make good on his promise to offer all out-of-contract senior players new contracts if the club was promoted,[2] confirming that, with the exception of Rory Fallon, new deals were "in the post" just five days after the previous season had concluded.[3] In addition to Lee Brown and Tom Lockyer, whose deals were signed before the season had ended,[4][5] goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall and midfielder Jay Malpas were the first to sign a new deals on 17 May.[6] Toward the end of May, Clarke himself had agreed a new three-year contract, making him the highest paid manager in the club's history.[7] This came after the club received a formal approach from Championship side Leeds United which Rovers rejected.[8]
June saw defender Daniel Leadbitter[9] and winger Billy Bodin[10] sign new two-year contracts at Rovers. Goalkeeper Will Puddy,[11] defenders James Clarke[12] and Mark McChrystal,[13] midfielders Lee Mansell[14] Cristian Montaño,[15] Jake Gosling,[16] Ollie Clarke[17] and Chris Lines[18] and forward Ellis Harrison[19] also agreed a new deals of undisclosed duration. Tom Parkes meanwhile rejected the offer of a new deal and instead joined League Two side Leyton Orient.[20] On 16 June, defender Peter Hartley became the club's first signing of the season on a free transfer from Plymouth Argyle[21] followed a day later by the signing of winger Byron Moore from Port Vale.[22]
Peterborough United forward Luke James became July's first signing, on a season long loan.[23] Rovers' top goalscorer of the previous two seasons, Matty Taylor, signed a new contract in July,[24] ending speculation linking him with a move away.[25]
