Ex-Sunderland and West Brom striker considering contract offer from Doncaster Rovers

The Doncaster Free Press has reported that Doncaster Rovers have made a contract offer to free-agent striker Victor Anichebe, with the former West Brom, Sunderland and Everton man said to be mulling over the offer from the League One side.

Victor Anichebe has been training with Doncaster Rovers over the course of the past few weeks as he looks to return to fitness ahead of a return to football after over 18 months out of the game. Now, it has been said that the club have offered him a deal with the club, which is currently being considered by Anichebe.

Manager Darren Moore has said that club’s young strikers are benefitting from Anichebe’s presence, learning from his experience. He said:

“It’s been wonderful to have him around Kazaiah Sterling, Niall Ennis, Will Longbottom, Alex Kiwomya, Max Watters, Alfie May – all of them because of his experience of where he’s been at. 

“He came to watch the game on Saturday and he was giving the boys some feedback and how he enjoyed it. It’s always nice to have that. He just came down to support the boys.

“It shows that as training with the boys for the last couple of weeks, he’s not just gone home at the weekend and sat at home. He’s actually wanted to come and watch the game. He thought it was a good game, the atmosphere was good, there was a good fightback.

“So when he comes in on Monday morning, he’s actually able to comment on the game from his viewpoint because he was there. That was great.”
Anichebe came through the youth academy at Everton, going on to play 168 times for the Toffees (26 goals and 20 assists) before leaving to join West Brom in 2013. He spent three years with the Baggies (63 appearances, nine goals and six assists) and left to join Sunderland. After a short stint with Sunderland, he moved to China, linking up with Beijing BSU.
