Wrexham and Bristol Rovers may reconsider potential Peterbrough United swoop: View
Jonson Clarke-Harris has looked a shadow of himself this season at London Road
Jonson Clarke-Harris has been a wanted man over the last two transfer windows, with both Wrexham and Bristol Rovers said to be fighting it out for the forward.
In fact, Rovers came mightily close to succeeding in bringing the striker back to the Memorial Stadium for the 2023/24 season, only for an admin issue preventing the move from happening.
That issue may have been a blessing in disguise for the Gas, with their former marksman barely managing to get his name on the scoresheet in the current campaign, with just six league strikes to his name in League One so far from his 23 appearances.
Phil Parkinson’s National League champions were also thought to be keeping tabs on the 29-year-old in January, but opted to bring in the experience of Steven Fletcher and, in January, Jack Marriott instead as they look for successive promotions into the third tier.
Jonson Clarke-Harris’ scoring record in the EFL
Followers of the EFL will be no stranger to seeing Clarke-Harris’ name popping up on the scoresheet in the past five seasons or so, having found the net 99 times in the league since the start of the 2018/19 campaign, as per FootyStats
That season was his first in the blue and white quarters of Bristol Rovers, the club where he found his form after struggling to impress in spells at Coventry City and Rotherham United.
But 24 goals in 42 league matches for Rovers over the course of two seasons was enough to tempt Posh into a move for the big man up top in the summer of 2020, for a reported seven-figure fee.
