Bristol Rovers<\/a> are amongst the clubs showing an interest in Rotherham United striker Jonson Clarke-Harris this summer, Bristol Live<\/a> understands, nearly five years after he left north Bristol.<\/p>\n The 30-year-old has a year remaining on his contract at the New York Stadium having re-joined the Millers from Peterborough United last summer. However, it is believed that the forward will be allowed to leave South Yorkshire this summer should the right offer come in for him.<\/p>\n Amid rumours that Rotherham will sanction an exit for Clarke-Harris this summer along with links to Rovers, the Rotherham Advertiser<\/a> asked new Millers manager Matt Hamshaw about the 30-year-old’s situation at the club before reporting the Gas’ interest.<\/p>\n READ MORE: The away allocations travelling Bristol Rovers fans could receive in League Two next season<\/a>READ MORE: Bristol Rovers rank top in unwanted statistic ahead of Premier League and EFL clubs<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThere has been interest but it has only been interest,” Hamshaw confirmed. “No-one has put an offer on the table for us yet. Until we get (a suitable) one he is still our player.\u201d<\/p>\n Clarke-Harris was close to a return to BS7 two years ago when a potential club-record \u00a3800,000 deal<\/a> fell through in the final hour of the transfer window due to an admin issue.<\/p>\n The striker registered an impressive 101 goal contributions in 189 appearances for Peterborough during a four-year spell, helping Posh to promotion to the Championship in 2021. He won the League One golden boot twice while at London Road. He had also been at the club earlier in his career but didn’t make a first-team appearance.<\/p>\n His time back at Rotherham so far has been less successful, however, after scoring eight goals in 33 appearances last season in a disappointing campaign for the South Yorkshire outfit as they finished 13th in League One.<\/p>\n Join Bristol Rovers Live’s Whatsapp community for all the biggest Bristol Rovers stories sent straight to your phone<\/strong><\/p>\n Bristol Rovers Live<\/a> is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join our community.<\/p>\n Through the app, we\u2019ll send the Bristol Rovers news, live match coverage, team news, transfers, fixtures, analysis and more straight to your phone.<\/p>\n To join our community you need to already have WhatsApp. All you need to do is click this link and select \u2018Join Community\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Bristol Live<\/a> team.<\/p>\n We also treat community members to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners.
