DONCASTER ROVERS signing Billy Sharp says he is driven to succeed in his latest spell at his second footballing home - following a bittersweet return to English football at Hull City.

After leaving boyhood club Sheffield United in the summer of 2023, Sharp had a short stay in the MLS at La Galaxy before coming home and linking up with Championship play-off candidates Hull at the start of 2024. Despite loving his time in and around the club, the 38-year-old failed to find the net in his time there and is seeking to make up for lost time on that front in his fourth stint at Rovers and quickly connect with the fans - something he felt he didn't do at the MKM Stadium.
