Rovers have this morning confirmed the signing of Jo Kuffour on a three-year deal from AFC Bournemouth.

The striker trained with the club for the first time yesterday morning, and passed a medical in the afternoon.

He put pen-to-paper shortly before 10:30am at the Memorial Stadium today.

"Jo has been on different lists of mine for over two years, and he's someone we've closely monitored," first team coach Paul Trollope told bristolrovers.co.uk.

"He's something different, a player we feel will add to the squad, and we hope he has a successful career at Bristol Rovers.

"He can play as a wide man, a striker, and a bit of both, and we believe his versatility will benefit us.

"We're looking forward to working with Jo, he's another piece of the jigsaw we're building, and we're delighted to have him in the building."

Kuffour has been given the number 17 shirt and travels with the rest of the squad to Elland Road this weekend.
