BRISTOL Rovers have signed former Sheffield United defender Robert Harris.

The Glasgow born left back began his career with Clyde, for whom he made 41 league appearances, before moving to Queen of the South, where he spent four seasons, scoring ten goals in 110 league appearances.

He signed for Blackpool in the summer of 2011 and during his time at Bloomfield Road spent time on loan at Rotherham United and Sheffield United and he signed a permanent deal at Bramall Lane in January 2014.

He appeared in 56 league games for United, scoring three goals, and also made a solitary appearance for Fleetwood Town after joining them on loan in February last year.

He has recently been training with Darrell Clarke’s squad and the manager said: “I would like to welcome Bob to the club and wish him well for the future.

“He has done well in training during his time with us and will provide cover for us at left back as we enter the final phase of the season."
