Bristol Rovers are in talks to sign Oldham Athletic striker Joe Quigley, Bristol Live understands.
After the 3-0 win against Newport County on Saturday, Steve Evans confirmed that the club would ideally “bring three in, maybe even sneak a fourth in” ahead of today’s 7pm deadline.
Quigley would add another option up front for Evans’ side, alongside Fabrizio Cavegn, Ellis Harrison, Promise Omochere and Callum Morton.
