It's safe to say some fans were caught off-guard by the news.

But Billy Sharp's return to Doncaster Rovers has certainly gone down a storm. The veteran has put pen to paper on a one-year deal, sending supporters into overdrive.

The news dropped on Monday night – with a special video that simultaneously revealed the striking new away kit for next term – and fans are loving the news. Sharp becomes the seventh summer signing as Grant McCann puts together what looks a hugely exciting squad for the coming season.
