HARRISON BIGGINS has had a fair bit to smile about so far this summer and like many other new signings at EFL clubs across the country, he is busy counting down the days to next weekend’s big kick-off.

His new team, Doncaster Rovers, start off with a mouth-watering derby against Bradford City in their League Two opener in seven days’ time.

Back home in Yorkshire after spells in the north west at Fleetwood and Barrow, the Sheffield-born midfielder, 26, – son of former Blades, Barnsley, Burnley and Stoke City striker Wayne – should see his peak years played out on White Rose soil.

It’s been some journey so far and it has certainly been a school of hard knocks after being shown the door at first club Barnsley at the age of 18.
