Bristol Rovers have secured a season-long loan deal for Sheffield United striker Tyler Smith.
The 20-year-old spent time on loan at National League club Barrow and League One Doncaster Rovers last season.
He scored 10 goals for Barrow during his five-month spell and netted a brace on his Doncaster debut in a 2-2 draw against Burton in January.
"Tyler will give us more options at the top and complement what we have in the squad," manager Graham Coughlan said.

What I have read think this will be a good loan signing.

Our new loanee TYLER SMITH Born 4.12.1998 Sheffield 5’ 10”; 10 st 7 lbs Striker Career: Sheffield United (professional, 1.7.17); 1.8.18 Barrow (loan); 31.12.18 Doncaster Rovers (loan) [2+12,2]; 10.7.19 Bristol Rovers (loan).
On the day his signing was announced, striker Tyler Smith scored one of seven Rovers goals in the pre-season friendly away to Irish side St Mochta’s. It was an encouraging precursor to the forthcoming 2019-20 campaign. Previously an unused substitute at Sheffield United for the game against West Bromwich Albion in December 2018, as the Blades secured promotion to the Premier League in 2019, Smith had been sent out on two loan spells that campaign. Having scored twice against Chesterfield in the Conference in August 2018, during his successful stint at Barrow, in which he scored ten times in 23 matches, he made a dramatic start to his time at Donny. Arriving on the pitch as a half-time substitute for Mallik Wilks against Burton Albion in January 2019, his two goals in twenty minutes swiftly turned an imminent defeat into a 2-1 lead, before the Brewers snatched a late equaliser. Thereafter, goals did not materialise, although he did play the final eight minutes of their 4-1 victory over The Gas at The Keepmoat in March 2019, replacing Kieran Sadlier.
