CLARKE: PIRATES READY TO PARTY

OLLIE CLARKE claims Bristol Rovers’ team spirit is the best he’s ever known it.

The midfielder, 25, has spent his entire career at the Memorial Stadium, taking his professional bow eight years ago.

And Clarke couldn’t be more confident ahead of today’s TV match at Bradford.

He said: “It’s easily the best squad we’ve had since I’ve been here.

“It was a bit stagnant when I was first here. There were some good players but they’d come in, train and go home.

“They wouldn’t really bond. Now we’ve got everyone fighting for each other.”
