League One Round-up: Sunderland braced for departure, Bristol Rovers deny interest in Imps-linked striker

Omar Bogle

On of these terrible ex-agent types has recently linked us with a move for Omar Bogle, along with Bristol Rovers. if we are in for him, which I doubt, then the pathway has been cleared as the Gas have confirmed they’re not looking at signing the Cardiff man.

A local reporter asked their manager if there was any truth in the rumour, to be informed that it was complete rubbish. Bogle, who rose to prominence at Grimsby, is struggling for game time in South Wales and is thought to be disillusioned.

32 goals in 68 appearances for the Mariners alerted Championship side Wigan Athletic, whom he joined for an undisclosed fee. He bagged three times for Wigan in 14 encounters before attracting the attention of Neil Warnock at Cardiff, who paid a reported £1m fee for his services. However, he hasn’t impressed for the Bluebirds, scoring just four goals in 21 outings.

Doncaster Extensions

Doncaster Rovers have extended the loan deals they currently have in place for Ben Sheaf and Seny Deing. Whilst confirming loans had been will run until the end of the season would be a huge deal for us (hint hint, Joe Morrell), Doncaster fans have been a little underwhelmed by the news as they look for a few new faces.

“We’re delighted to have Seny with us until the end of the season. He’s been a very good signing for us,” said manager Darren Moore. “We’re pleased to have extended Ben’s loan. He’s been superb, we’ve all seen the qualities that he’s brought and he’s been an important part of the team here.”

Perhaps someone should tell their supporters to be grateful then?

Sunderland departure

We expect a lot of changes at Sunderland as Phil Parkinson steps up his drive to get them out of League One, with Dylan McGeouch the player likely to leave next. He’s been linked with moves to Hibernian and Aberdeen and it seems Pittodrie is his likely destination.

He’s not the only player looking likely to leave the club; Marc McNulty is on loan there at present but is set to leave the club. The former Hibernian and Coventry striker has only started once under Parkinson and hasn’t scored a league goal since September. It’s now believed that Swindon in League Two are keen to take him on loan, a move which would complete a circle for him having left League Two and Coventry in 2017/18. He’s also apparently wanted by Hibernian again, a side he played on loan for last season.
