'Signing of the summer' - Bristol Rovers fans hail club's latest piece of business

Bristol Rovers fans have hailed Alfie Kilgour's new contract as their best bit of business this summer.

The Gas have rewarded the young defender with a new deal following a string of impressive performances.

After breaking into the first-team squad towards the end of last season, but seeing his football limited by the form of Tom Lockyer and Tony Craig, Kilgour has slotted into the left of a back three in this campaign.

He has performed solidly and, aged just 20, hopes are high that Kilgour will have a big future in the game, meaning Rovers fans are delighted over his new contract.

Alicia: We are lucky to have this guy sign for us! Looked a mirror image of the "£20m" player that signed from 'the other team' on Tuesday.

Alveston Gas: Delighted for Alfie & his family - proper Rovers lad!

Si: He's one of our own, fantastic news.

4.48PM: Don't underestimate how important this is. Signing of the summer.

Nick Hibbs: Big future ahead for the lad... hopefully taking the Gas to the Championship.

Matt Bray: Huge future in the game! Let’s hope loads of it is for the Gas!

Elliot Owens: Great news. Alfie has been superb so far this season - really stepped up to the plate.

Billy: Better be no release clause!

Ady: It's so good to see a young defender step up. I miss Tom Lockyer but it's so good to see him doing so well in the Championship.
