New signing to wear the number 12 shirt
Bringing the shirt out of ‘retirement’ for a short spell means that the Rovers Supporters Club will be sponsoring the youngster, who is on loan from Premiership side Newcastle United.
Vice-chair of the SC Helen Wigmore – who is also the fans’ representative on the board – said:
“We are delighted to sponsor Elliot for the rest of the season. The number 12 shirt is hugely important to the Gas fans and we didn’t take this decision lightly.
“However, the whole club is coming together and building something special, both on and off the pitch, and it will be brilliant to see Elliot wear our special shirt with pride.”
Anderson made his debut today, as a second-half substitute in the 1-1 draw at Sutton.
