Midfielder Chris trained with the first team squad for much of the 2004/05 season, even though he was a still a third year scholar at Filton College.
Although he didn't make a first team appearance, he was a regular member of the squad and was on the bench no fewer than six occasions, the first time being for the home game against Macclesfield in December 2004.
Having completed his studies at Filton, Chris joined the first team squad for pre season training in the summer of 2005 and was signed as a non contract player.
He was awarded his first pro contract in January 2006 and made his long awaited first team debut when going on as a substitute in our 2-1 win against Chester City that month. There were to be two more substitute appearances before the end of the season and he made his first start for the club, against Macclesfield Town, in the final game of the campaign.
Only the form shown by Craig Disley and Stuart Campbell denied him an extended run in the first team in 2006/07, though he proved to be more than capable of challenging for a regular place during a three match run in the side in March.
Chris was used as a substitute in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final and was on the bench for the play off final at Wembley.
Last season was by far his best in a Rovers shirt and he appeared in 27 league games, holding down a regular place in the side in the second half of the season.
Chris scored his first league goal for the club, against Port Vale, on 2nd February 2007.
He will undoubtedly be looking to push hard for a regular place in the first team lineup again this season.
An accomplished midfielder, with a deceptive turn of pace, he distributes the ball well and has an eye for goal.
