According to X reporter Pete O’Rourke, Bristol Rovers has agreed to sign midfielder Jamie Lindsay, who is free after his contract with relegated Rotherham United expired.
The 28-year-old Scot will have a physical with the Gas today as he prepares to team up with Taylor for the second time. Lindsay had played at Rotherham for five years, scoring eight goals and providing six assists in 161 appearances.

Taylor has wasted little time in bringing new faces to Bristol Rovers this summer, and the signing of Lindsay implies they aren’t about to slow down anytime soon.
