Bristol Rovers have all-but completed their summer business - Jonson Clarke-Harris contract decision pending - with Ben Garner's Gas making a number of eyecatching additions.
Rovers were one of the clubs quickest out of the traps in League One to give Garner sufficient time work with his squad during pre-season in time for the League One kick-off on September 12.
