Bristol Rovers have signed goalkeeper Josh Griffiths on a season-long loan from West Bromwich Albion.
The 22-year-old has made 13 appearances for the Baggies after joining their academy as a 10-year-old, although he was limited to just three cup games in the 2023-24 season.
The Hereford-born keeper signed a new three-year contract with the Championship side in June.
He had season-long loans at Cheltenham Town and Lincoln City before spending part of the 2022-23 campaign at Portsmouth, making 28 appearances in all competitions.
Griffiths, who joined England Under-21 for a training camp last summer, said the move to the League One side is "a really good fit" for him.
"I鈥檝e had some good conversations with the manager and he has put across his ideas to me, what he wants from the style of play, and those talks went really well," he said.
