The leading candidates to join Doncaster Rovers during the summer transfer window are players from Hull City, Sunderland, and Leeds United.
Doncaster signed six players before the 2024–2025 season began, demonstrating their early activity in the window. Teddy Sharman-Lowe and Ephraim Yeboah came on loan, while Tom Nixon, Harry Clifton, Jordan Gibson, and Joe Sbarra got permanent agreements.
After Rovers missed out on promotion in the League Two play-offs the previous season, Grant McCann will be driven to lead the team over the finish line in 2025. Since smart summer planning is essential for winning campaigns, supporters will be curious to see what else Rovers accomplish before the window closes.
These are the athletes that Sportcasting thinks have the best chance of signing with Doncaster this summer.
With his impressive League One record, Eisa would probably make a wise addition to any League Two team. The forward was released by Milton Keynes Dons and is now a free agent.
Billy Sharp (7/2)
The seasoned striker, who has already played for Doncaster three times, has been linked to a fantastical comeback. Even though he is 38 years old, he could be very helpful in League Two.
Charlie Allen (5/1)
Although the attacking midfielder at Leeds United is clearly gifted, he faced stiff competition for playing time. The Whites released him at the end of the 2023–2024 campaign, and any team that can maximise his potential should consider themselves lucky.
Ellis Taylor (8/1)
After failing to establish himself in the starting lineup at the Stadium of Light, the midfield player left Sunderland at the end of the previous campaign. He needs minutes at age 21, and a lower position on the pyramid might provide them.
Shane Flynn (8/1)
The defender, who was apparently on track to establish himself as a mainstay at Leicester City prior to being injured, has been hindered by his injury. After leaving the Foxes at the end of the season, the 22-year-old is currently a free agent.
Aaron Drewe (9/1)
The defender, who joined Queens Park Rangers when he was nine years old, is looking for greener pastures as a free agent.
9/1 Mark O’Mahony
At Brighton & Hove Albion, Evan Ferguson is not the only Irish forward attracting notice. O’Mahony has a lot of promise and moving to League Two on loan might hasten his progress.
9/1 Sammy Braybrooke
Joshua Kayode – 12/1 Rotherham have transfer-listed the forward, who never managed to settle in the Millers first-team. After a series of loan moves, the 24-year-old may be looking to lay down roots. Braybrooke, a gifted young midfielder and Leicester City prospect, is on the comeback trail following a serious injury. A temporary move to the EFL could prove to be just what the doctor ordered and get him firing again.
