Signing of Charlie Seaman 'keeps alive spirit of Doncaster Rovers' U23s plan'

The financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the club led to the decision to disband the development squad, with the release of the majority of players in the age group.

But Moore remains committed to unearthing young players and offering them the opportunity to develop their game with Rovers.

Right back Seaman, 21, signed a one-year deal with Rovers on Thursday and was immediately loaned to National League South side Maidstone United.

Rovers hold the option of extending his contract by a year should the former Bournemouth youngster impress while he gains more senior football experience at Maidstone.

“With the different circumstances with the U23s this year, he would certainly have been someone who would ideally have fitted into that programme,” Moore said.

“We’re pleased to secure his services and also secure him the loan to Maidstone that gets him that first team opportunity to develop.
