MIDFIELDER Marcus Bignot has proved a big hit at the Memorial Stadium this season.

The 26-year-old signed a two-year deal at Rovers during the summer after missing the bulk of the last campaign with a shoulder injury while at Crewe.

Bignot quickly established himself in the Pirates team and has impressed the fans with his willingness to press forward.

With Andy Thomson out injured, Bignot has even been handed the captain's armband by manager Ian Holloway.
