""It feels really, really good to once again be a Bristol Rovers player. Obviously I've been training here for a while and I've tried not to think too much about it or get too excited about the ifs, buts and maybes. But as soon as I knew that Darrell [Clarke, manager] wanted to get something done, it was easy for me to then make a decision about coming back home.""
""It is so hard to explain, but it's everything I've worked so hard for over the last two years. Hopefully I can have many, many more good memories in a football shirt. I'm going to celebrate the little wins back on a football pitch and I just want to enjoy it. I wouldn't be doing this otherwise. I'm doing this because I love playing football and I've got that massive desire to play football again.""
Tom Lockyer has rejoined Bristol Rovers on a contract until the end of the season after training with the club since leaving Luton. He has not played since collapsing from a cardiac arrest during the Bournemouth versus Luton match in December 2023. Lockyer made over 280 appearances for Bristol Rovers between 2013 and 2019 and says returning feels very good. He aims to celebrate small wins, enjoy playing again, and create many more good memories in a football shirt. Manager Darrell Clarke praised Lockyer's resilience. Rovers sit 16th in League Two and next travel to Crawley Town on Saturday.
