The transfer-listed forward joined the rest of Rovers’ squad for a session this morning after seeing a trial at Championship side Blackpool come to nothing.

Paynter travelled to Bloomfield Road at the start of this week with a view to a full-time move but Blackpool manager Ian Holloway ended his interest yesterday, bringing Doncaster and Notts County back into the reckoning.

He has scored three goals in 28 competitive appearances for Leeds.
