New Doncaster Rovers signing and ex-West Brom junior vows to get 'people off their seats' after joining League Two club

The former Burton Albion playmaker has agreed a two-year deal with the option of a further year after electing to leave National League high-fliers Solihull Moors, who suffered play-off and FA Trophy heartache in recent Wembley finals.

Rovers beat off considerable competition to sign Lichfield-born Sbarra, who scored 36 goals in 149 appearances for Moors.

On being described as an energetic playmaker following his decision to join Doncaster, Sbarra, Rovers’ first signing of the close season, commented: “I’ll take that, yes (energetic playmaker) I have been called a lot worse in my time.

"It’s what people pay their money for and I am a football fan and like getting people off their seats and hopefully I will try my best to do that and bring good times to Doncaster Rovers.

"I am high energy and like to make things happen with goals and assists and bring just a bit of excitement. I’m a football fan and I try and translate that onto the pitch in my performances.

"I’ve done my time finding myself and making myself the player I am along with a lot of help from people. But now I feel it’s the right time to kick on now and get back to where I want to be in the EFL and hopefully be part of a journey at Doncaster rising up the leagues

"I feel like it’s a perfect fit. I spoke to him a couple of times and even from the first chat, it was so clear of how he (McCann) wanted the team to play and also where he sees me fit in.

"It’s just exciting. He’s got a great reputation for developing players and getting the best out of them and scoring loads of goals. I’m glad it’s over the line and all sorted.”
