Departing Lee Brown to skipper Bristol Rovers
Posted Thursday, April 26, 2018 by PA
Lee Brown will wear the armband on his final Bristol Rovers appearance at home to Gillingham.
The left-back has made 317 appearances since joining Rovers in 2011 and is ending his seven-year stay at the Memorial Ground to be nearer his London home.
Liam Sercombe, Rovers’ newly-crowned player of the year, ended a two-game absence against Wigan in midweek after injury and is expected to start again.
Tom Nichols and Rory Gaffney are options should manager Darrell Clarke decide to freshen up his attack.
Defender Gabriel Zakuani will return as Gillingham seek to secure their Sky Bet League One status.
Zakuani missed last week’s 3-0 home defeat to Blackpool after suffering a head injury against Rotherham a few days earlier.
Skipper Lee Martin should feature after being withdrawn against Blackpool at half-time following a chest infection, leaving Billy Bingham as the only absentee.
Goalkeeper Tom Hadler made his first senior appearance for the Gills in that Blackpool defeat, and boss Steve Lovell must decide whether to stick with the 21-year-old or recall Tomas Holy.
