The singer, a lifelong Rovers fan, has joined forces with the club’s former owner John Ryan to compile a takeover bid which would see the pair named as joint-chairmen of the club. It is believed that an agreement has already been reached but will not be signed until next week due to issues relating to Tomlinson’s image rights.

Tomlinson appeared for Doncaster’s reserve side earlier this year after being added to the club’s ranks at the start of this season as a publicity stunt. His appearance saw the crowd of middle-aged men depart to be replaced by screaming teenage girls – something which certainly displeased many Rovers fans. Nevertheless, the club are in need of investment after relegation from the Championship this season.
