WELCOME JOSH
From BRFC website
Bristol Rovers are delighted to announce the signing of defender Josh Hare from Eastleigh, following the expiration of his contract.
The deal will be subject to FA and EFL approval, with the contract officially commencing on July 1st.
Josh joined the National League play-off semi-finalists this time last year, signing on a free from Maidstone United.
He made his debut for the Spireites on the opening day of the season against Solihull Moors and was a mainstay for the remainder of the campaign, racking up 45 appearances in all competitions.
His performances also earn himself a place in the National League 2018/19 Team of the Season.
Born in Canterbury, the 24-year old joined the academy of his most local Football League side Gillingham, where he rose through the ranks and signed his first professional contract in 2012.
In the 2014/15 season he returned on loan to Eastbourne Borough, where he had been two years prior, but also made three first team appearances for the Gills; two in League One and one in the League Cup.
Josh eventually moved permanently to Eastbourne in 2016, playing a season before moving on to Maidstone, where he enjoyed a second season of frequent football, prior to his move up to Eastleigh in the fifth tier and now to Rovers in the third.
Manager Graham Coughlan said, "Josh has made real progress over the last three years in his development and climbing up the football pyramid.
"He had a great season with Eastleigh, reaching the play-off semi-finals and being named in the National League Team of the Year.
"We are confident he is ready to take the step into the Football League and we are sure he will add healthy competition to the squad."

I used to work for the SUN ! is it me of is all are new signings rightbacks??? All defenders. But as GC was a defensive coach first and foremost - I trust him to lock up our defence as tight as a gnats chuff. The tricky bit will be mid-field recruitment where we lack width, creativity and pace. The even trickier bit will be a new strategy for scoring "a goal". At the back end of last season most teams sussed that putting two men on J C-H meant we could not score. My prediction for next season is an awful lot of 0-0 draws. On a positive note 44 of those and two wins should be enough to keep us up.

JCH can score but who else will provide goals, Payne, Riley and Nichols do not give me confidence!

Everything you ever wanted to know about
JOSHUA DARREN HARE Born 12.8.1994 Canterbury Build 6’; 12 st 4 lbs D Career: Eastbourne Borough; 2012 Gillingham (May 2014 professional) [2,0]; 21.2.13 Eastbourne Borough (loan); 16.11.14 Eastbourne Borough (loan); 20.3.16 Leatherhead (loan); 8.7.16 Eastbourne Borough (free); 30.6.17 Maidstone United (free); 30.6.18 Eastleigh (free); 12.6.19 Bristol Rovers (free). Exciting defender Josh Hare arrived at the Mem in the summer of 2019 after being voted into the theoretical Conference Team of the Season for 2018-19. His Eastleigh side had reached the play-off semi-finals that campaign and he had scored five times in 43 appearances, including a strike against eventual champions Leyton Orient. A team mate in the Spitfires team with former Rovers striker Chris Zebroski and current Rovers midfielder Sam Matthews. Prior to this, Hare had risen slowly through the divisions, after making two League One appearances with Gillingham, against Yeovil Town in August 215 and Crewe Alexandra in January 2015. Spells at other clubs had brought four goals in 46 matches with Eastbourne and three, against Aldershot, Torquay and Chester, in 26(+2) Conference fixtures for Maidstone United. He had also been in the Eastbourne side defeated 7-0 at Braintree in the FA Cup in November 2016. Josh Hare is the oldest of three children to Darren Hare, a veteran of the Kent non-league football scene, and his wife Alison; he is also the nephew of Gills legend Andy Hessenthaler, who played for Gillingham against Rovers and for Barnet against Rovers in November 2006 aged forty-one, and his wife Nikki, and thus the cousin of Jake Hessenthaler, who played for the Gills in three League encounters against The Gas.
Thanks to Stephen Byrne for most of this data.
