Kian Hill has also completed a loan move, switching to Premier Division South Gloucester City on a one-month deal.

Hill was Rovers' Academy Player of the Season last term. He made his senior debut in the Gas' EFL Trophy win over Cheltenham Town before going out on loan to Bristol Manor Farm, where he scored six goals and assisted one.
