Bristol Rovers are considering a loan move for towering Crystal Palace defender Jake O’Brien as Connor Taylor’s future looks increasingly with Stoke City.
As first reported by Alan Nixon, O’Brien is being considered as an option by Joey Barton as he looks to reinforce his defence following the exit of Taylor at the end of last season.
Bristol Live understands that O’Brien is on the Gas’ radar and a deal could be concluded this week although other options in that position are also being explored. Southampton’s Will Tizzard is not thought to be on their shortlist.
