Joel Senior made 43 appearances for Morecambe in League Two last season

Right-back Joel Senior has become Bristol Rovers’ sixth new face this week after leaving Morecambe to sign a two-year deal.

Senior, 25, featured in all but three of Morecambe’s League Two games last season, scoring once.

He s midfielder Isaac Hutchinson, forward Ruel Sotiriou and defensive trio Clinton Mola, Dan Ellison and Bryant Bilongo at the Memorial Stadium.

Rovers’ manager Matt Taylor said: “Joel has showcased his energy, fitness and talent at full-back in recent seasons and I am looking forward to seeing what he can bring to our squad.

“Having just turned 25, Joel still has the best years of his career ahead of him and I am confident he will get even better with us.”

Senior started out in non-league football and spent a year at Burnley before moving on to Altrincham and Carlisle, helping the U’s to win promotion from League Two in 2023.
