Doncaster re-sign striker Sharp on a one-year deal

Doncaster have re-signed striker Billy Sharp on a one-year deal following his departure from Hull City.

The 38-year-old was Rovers’ club record signing in 2010 when he joined. He made 102 appearances, scoring 45 goals, before leaving in 2012.

The former Sheffield United and LA Galaxy striker has more than 600 league appearances under his belt, which has also included spells at Scunthorpe, Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Southampton.

Sharp said joining the League Two side was “another challenge” that suited him at this stage of his career.

“I know I’m 38, but age is just a number and I still feel fit and strong. I feel like I can still score goals at this level,” he said.

“I want to be successful personally, but also as a group, and try to get the club back to the division where I started with them.”

Sharp played 13 games for Hull City last season but didn’t score a goal – the first club he hasn’t scored for.
