Club media caught up with Ben Watson, as he reflected on the signing of Josh Baxter to Rovers, and this is what he had to say: “Josh is a player that is ambitious and wants to learn and progress. He already has 2 seasons at Southern League level and will add athleticism, strength and quality to the team.
We want a squad of players who are willing to share the loading, perform and fight for one another and the badge and Josh underpins these traits.
Josh also spoke to us following his switch to Silver Street, “I’m really pleased to be here. The conversations I had with Watto were really positive, and his vision for the club and the way he goes about things were a big factor in my decision. I know a few of the lads already and they’ve all spoken highly of the club and the environment here. I can’t wait to get started!”
