Will Bristol Rovers be offering Blizzard conditions?

Bristol Rovers are being linked with a move for Stockport County midfielder Dominic Blizzard.

The 25-year-old is out of contract and although the Hatters are keen to keep him, the fact they are currently in administration and without a manager means it is virtually certain he will be leaving Edgelely Park before the start of next season.

Bristol Rovers are understood to be keen on the former Watford player, but a string of other clubs are also thought to have been tracking him – including Championship outfits Blackpool and Scunthorpe, as well as the Pirates' League One rivals MK Dons and Huddersfield.

Blizzard, who is 6ft 2ins, made 58 league appearances during his two-year stint at Stockport, scoring four times.

Born in High Wycombe, he started his career at Watford after graduating from the trainee ranks at Vicarage Road and scored on his first-team debut for the club against Norwich City in 2004.

He gained Premier League experience under Aidy Boothroyd before his career was disrupted by an illness which kept him out of action for a year.

Blizzard then had loan spells at Stockport and MK Dons and was set to join the Dons on a permanent basis, but was unable to agree terms and was quickly snapped up by County.

Rovers are known to be in the market for a midfielder after releasing Craig Disley at the end of last season. He has since joined Shrewsbury Town.

The Pirates have also been linked with Hereford winger Matt Done as they look to bolster their squad.
