Rovers have bolstered their squad with experience once more, this time with the arrival of goalkeeper Randolph Bijoux, who linked up with the squad close to a month ago.
We sat down to talk with him about how his signing came about and what his experience can bring to the team.
Tell us about you?
My name is Randolph Bijoux. I am 38 years old and have 2 kids. Football has always been my passion and I have been playing since I was a young boy.
How does it feel to be a part of the Rovers team?
It’s really good and I am enjoying it. The team is very organised and has good plans for the future.
What made you decide to join Rovers?
It had been some time now since I have “retired” from football. But I missed it and when I was approached by Rovers I decided to go for it.
As a goalkeeper with plenty of experience, what are you hoping to bring to the team?
I want to bring my experience and help the team bolster their defence.
Does the playing style of Rovers suit you?
Yes it does. I already knew some of the players from before and was familiar with their playing style and techniques so it was quite easy to adapt to the team.
Having recently joined the team, how do you feel about the training approach as well as the team’s ambition as a whole?
So far so good but as we are aiming to bring the team to the Premier League we must always be looking to improve individually and collectively.
Outside of football you have a pretty demanding job, so how are you balancing that and football?
Good question. It’s not easy and it takes a lot of time and dedication. When it comes to football its hard to compromise… football is my passion.
What do you hope to achieve with the team this season?
The aim is to fight for the title and win promotion to the Premier League. Also personally, through my experience, I am hoping to further develop the skills of the younger players at the Club.
What is it going to take for the team to reach its target of promotion this season?
A lot of hard word, devotion and focus from both the players and the management.
