The defender has been with Rovers since they returned for pre-season and his efforts have now seen him rewarded with a first-ever professional contract.

Speaking to bristolrovers.co.uk Broadbent said: "I came in on July 3 and I was nervous but I'd worked hard over the summer to keep myself fit.

"I've enjoyed my time so far, the lads have been welcoming, so that's a great help aswell.

"It's a massive club with a great fan base, it was a no-brainer for me to sign."
