Crystal Palace’s Andy Dorman accidentally drops down two tiers

Dorman barred from League One

Crystal Palace midfielder Andy Dorman has revealed he unintentionally moved down two divisions because he thought Bristol Rovers were in League One when he made his loan move.

Dorman agreed to leave his Championship side to get first-team football in the tier below, but has since discovered that Rovers are a League Two side.

The 29-year-old said: “If I’m being honest I thought they were still in League One.

“But I’ve got that chance to move them up the table and I’m just looking forward to playing and doing well.”

Dorman’s loan move lasts until January 2.
