FORMER Colchester United loanee Sylvester Jasper has signed for Bristol Rovers on loan from Premier League side Fulham.

The 20-year-old, who made 23 appearances for the U's in all competitions in the first half of last season on loan from the Cottagers, has linked up with the League One side on season-long loan.

Jasper spent the second half of last season on loan at Hibernian, where he played 16 games.

Bristol Rovers boss Joey Barton told the Bristol Rovers website: “It’s no secret we’ve been in the market for wide players and Syl fits the profile of what we’ve been looking for.

"He’s a young, hungry, dynamic winger and I hope he will excite our fans with his style of play.”

Jasper impressed after joining Colchester on loan from Fulham, last summer.

He scored three times for the U's and netted his first-ever senior goal for them last October when he scored the U's winner in their 1-0 win over Harrogate Town, at the JobServe Community Stadium.

He followed that up with a fine strike in Colchester's televised FA Cup triumph over AFC Sudbury, last November.

Jasper also scored in the U's 3-1 triumph over Exeter City in League Two.

He also made his debut for Bulgaria under-21s when he featured for more than an hour in their 3-1 defeat to their Netherlands counterparts in a Euro U21 qualifier, last November.
