Bristol Rovers have signed Shrewsbury Town striker Matt Harrold for an undisclosed fee.

The 26-year-old, who still had a year left to run on his contract with Town, has signed a two-year deal at the Memorial Stadium.

Manager Paul Buckle : "We managed to get him for a great price, he is a real bargain.

"He is strong, and solid target man but he is also good with the ball into his feet - he is a class act."

Buckle added: "He is capable of playing at League One level and these are the type of players I am trying to bring into the club."

Harrold had spells at Brentford, Yeovil Town, Southend and Wycombe Wanderers before

He scored nine goals in 47 appearances last season.
