Striker learns from veteran goal aces

PROMISE VOWS TO HIT BACK OF NET!

BRISTOL Rovers summer signing Promise Omochere is looking to add more goals to his game and believes he has two perfect role models to help him.

The 23-year-old has plundered a respectable seven and six goals from the flanks during his first two campaigns in the EFL with Fleetwood.

But Pirates chief Matt Taylor wants Omochere to lead the line in a central role during 2024-25 and the ex-Bohemians attacker knows with that new responsibility comes an onus to hit "double digits".

Fortunately, he has a couple of 35-year-old mentors at the Memorial Stadium who have plundered more than 320 senior goals between them.

And Omochere is studiously observing both Chris Martin (182 career goals pre-weekend) and Scott Sinclair (141) as he looks to improve his own potency levels.

"Now I'm playing as a striker it's my job to score goals," the 6ft 2in Dubliner told The FLP.

"There's obviously more to my game besides goals and I get through a lot of work on the pitch, but I'd definitely like to get into double digits.
