Bristol Live are reporting Bristol Rovers’ club record transfer deal for Posh striker Jonson Clarke-Harris has collapsed because the relevant paperwork wasn’t completed in time.

The fee was reportedly £800k and the player had agreed personal terms.

More to follow, although Posh will not be commenting tonight.

The club have informed me now more news tonight.

Updates promised tomorrow.

Not sure what’s happened.

I had been told to expect a sale and a signing.

Added time signings

Late League One signings...

Ryan Loft has completed his free transfer move from Bristol Rovers to Port Vale.

Lincoln have signed Blackburn striker Jack Vale on loan.

Striker Slobodan Tedic has completed his loan move from Man City to Charlton.

Leyton Orient have signed Swansea City defender Brandon Cooper on loan

Hull midfielder Xavier Simons has joined Fleetwood on loan

Bristol LIve is reporting Rovers have agreed an £800k fee for Posh striker Clarke-Harris which would smash their club record of £370,000 paid for Andy Tillson in 1992.

Interesting comments re JCH from Bolton boss Ian Evatt earlier today.

He said he would not break the club’s wage structure or change his team’s style of play to accommodate Clarke-Harris even though he admired his goalscoring record at League One level.

11pm update. Deals done, but not yet announced.

The 11pm transfer deadline has passed.

More deals have been done involving Posh, but have yet to be announced

It looks like Ronnie Edwards is staying.

Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony says defender Josh Knight will be taken off the transfer list and will be offered a new contract after impressing so far this season.
