Ben Garner believes Josh Barrett will add a different dimension to Bristol Rovers.
The attacking midfielder has become Garner's first permanent signing at Rovers, following on from yesterday's loan deal for Jayden Mitchell-Lawson.
Rovers paid from Reading and, speaking to the club's website, Garner said he had big hopes for the midfielder.
He said: "We are delighted to welcome Josh to the football club.
"Josh is a player who will add another dimension to our squad and is someone who we have watched and scouted thoroughly ahead of the current transfer window opening.
"He’s a player that has been in and around the first-team environment at Reading for a while and he’s naturally looking to kickstart the next step of his career and we feel that Bristol Rovers is the perfect club to allow him to demonstrate his best attributes.
"Again Josh showed the desire to join us and the hunger to play for Rovers.
"We are pleased that we have been able to get the deal done early, with a number of key fixtures on the horizon in the coming weeks and we thank Reading F.C for the manner in which they have conducted themselves throughout the process.
"We look forward to welcoming Josh into the squad and I’m sure our supporters will give all the new arrivals the very best welcome to the Mem."
