Medical Today: Bristol Rovers agree deal ahead of Wycombe, Barnsley & Wigan - Exclusive

Bristol Rovers have won the race to sign Taylor Moore after agreeing a deal to sign him on a free transfer, sources have told Football Insider.

The defender is arriving at the League One outfit’s training ground on Wednesday to complete a medical and sign a three-year deal with the club.

The 27-year-old was in demand this summer, with Wycombe Wanderers, Barnsley, and Wigan Athletic all holding talks over a potential move.

The timing means that Moore will be available for Bristol Rovers from the start of pre-season, allowing him to hit the ground running at his new club.

Moore had spent last season at Valenciennes in Ligue 2, gaining some European experience as he featured 22 times across all competitions for the French outfit.

Bristol Rovers are securing experience with Moore

While the versatile defender has spent last season in France, he’s typically played in England throughout his career, spanning across the Championship, League One, and League Two.

Moore was under contract with Bristol City from 2016 to last summer, but he spent the bulk of those years on loan at various clubs in England, and a period at Hearts in the Scottish Premiership.

With 287 appearances throughout his career across different leagues, the 27-year-old brings vast experience to Bristol Rovers.

Considering only four teams in League One conceded more goals than the Pirates last season, three of which got relegated, boosting the defensive side of the squad was clearly an important task this summer.

Matt Taylor quickly got to work on that front by bringing in Moore, while the League One outfit also signed teenage defender Dan Ellison.
