Billy Sharp has joined Doncaster Rovers for the rest of the season.

The striker's future had been up in the air since he returned to Saints from a loan spell with Reading on January 2.

Royals were interested in keeping the 27-year-old but the uncertainty surrounding the club's ownership scuppered the chance of any deal.

So Doncaster, where Sharp spent three years between 2009-12, swooped in to take him back to the Keepmoat.

Rovers boss Paul Dickov said: “I’m delighted to bring back Billy to the Doncaster Rovers.

"I’ve been looking to bring in an experienced Championship striker who is capable of winning matches for the club and Billly is that type of player.

“The fact that Billy knows the club so well and has such a fantastic relationship with the fans will hopefully mean he can hit the ground running straight away.”
