Bristol Rovers Negotiating to Sign Striker Joe Quigley
Bristol Rovers are currently negotiating to sign Joe Quigley, a striker from Oldham Athletic. The talks come shortly after Rovers secured a 3-0 victory against Newport County. Manager Steve Evans has expressed a desire to strengthen the squad by bringing in multiple players before the transfer deadline.
Joe Quigley’s Career Overview
Joe Quigley has an extensive football career, beginning with his time in AFC Bournemouth’s academy in 2007. He signed a professional contract with the club in 2015. During his tenure at Bournemouth, Quigley gained valuable experience through several loan spells.

- Loan spells included Poole Town, Torquay United, Wrexham, Woking, Gillingham, Newport County, and Boreham Wood.
- Joined Maidstone United in 2018, then moved to Bromley shortly after.
- Spent time on loan at Eastbourne Borough and Havant & Waterlooville.
- Signed with Dagenham & Redbridge, scoring five goals in 30 appearances.
- Later, joined Yeovil Town, netting 19 goals in 58 matches.
In January 2022, he secured a two-and-a-half-year deal with Chesterfield, where he made over 100 appearances and scored 21 goals, contributing to the club’s National League title in the 2023/24 season.
Recent Season with Oldham
