Bristol Rovers defender Steve Elliott is delighted that team-mate Rickie Lambert is still with the League One club.

Lambert scored 29 goals for the Pirates last season and has been linked with a number of higher division clubs, but no move has materialised.

Elliott told the Evening Post: "It's a massive bonus to the lads that Rickie is still here.

"There was a lot of speculation about Rickie over the summer, but the lads were taking a selfish view and were all hoping that he'd stay.

"He's still here, he's getting fit and, hopefully, he can start the season the same way he played in the last one."
