12 potential loan targets for Bristol Rovers including Everton, Chelsea, Newcastle Utd, West Ham & Wolves men - gallery

Bristol Rovers have had a fair bit of success when it comes to the loan market, and are a good destination to send your youth players if you're a Premier League or Championship club.

The Gas during Joey Barton's tenure have relied on the loan market to complement their squad, and there have been numerous success stories, who have gone on to benefit massively from their time at the Memorial Stadium. Elliot Anderson is the best example, as after being suggested to Barton by his former Newcastle United teammate Shola Ameobi, Anderson ended up scoring the decisive goal to get the Gas out of League Two. A year later, Anderson was subject of interest from several Championship clubs, but he remained at St James Park, and ended up playing 27 times for the Magpies, including 22 appearances in the Premier League as they secured a top four finish.

Connor Taylor is another, as whilst he didn't hold down a place at Stoke City, despite an opportunity at the start of the season, he is someone who went from playing to League Two to the Championship. The 21-year-old is wanted by Rovers, and a transfer bid was knocked back in January, but it goes to show that Rovers want to not only take these loan players on for a season, but work with them again.

The 2022/23 season saw numerous success stories again with Lewis Gibson and Josh Coburn being there for most of the season, whilst Bobby Thomas' time at the club helped him earn a move to Barnsley, where he secured a top six finish. Lamare Bogarde was a decent signing too from Aston Villa, whilst Jarell Quansah got his first taste of senior football.

Rovers have yet to make any summer signings in the transfer window, but are for sure going to be dipping their toes at the loan market again to get some players in. Here we take a look at 12 players that should come under consideration.
