Doncaster Rovers Sign Brandon Hanlan, Matty Pearson Ahead 2024-25 Season

Doncaster Rovers have strengthened their squad for the upcoming League One season by signing striker Brandon Hanlan on a two-year deal starting July 1. Hanlan, formerly of Wycombe Wanderers, ended last season on loan at Stevenage and has previously played for Charlton Athletic, Gillingham, and Bristol Rovers; he is recovering from an ACL injury from November 2023. His signing follows recent acquisitions including defender Matty Pearson, midfielder Robbie Gotts, and winger Glenn Middleton, with Pearson also joining on July 1 after his contract with Huddersfield Town expired. Doncaster will begin their pre-season with an overseas training camp in Austria, including a friendly against SV Ried II. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe, a key figure in Doncaster’s recent promotion, is set to join Bolton Wanderers on loan from Chelsea, as Bolton rebuild their goalkeeping options. These moves indicate Doncaster’s active preparation for a competitive League One campaign.
