Pipey is a Pirate...Just as NCM revealed first

Pipe joins the League One newcomers for an undisclosed fee that NCM understands is a £50,000 down payment with various add on clauses relating to promotion and future transfer fees.

Flashback...NCM were first with the news fifteen days ago

The popular Welshman was the Magpies' longest serving player but with his contract up at the end of the season Notts boss Steve Thompson has decided to cash in rather than lose a prized asset for nothing.

NCM first broke the news after a tip off from a leading man in League Two media, and how right we were with the Nottingham Evening Post reacting to our news three days later.

Good luck to a great club servant

Now the versatile 23-year-old has signed a three year deal with the Pirates and has immediately been handed the number 14 shirt with Paul Trollope's men.

He was player of the season after a stunning 2005/06 campaign with Notts and will always be remembered for his passion and bombarding runs from full-back holding him in the highest regard at Meadow Lane.

NCM wish him all the best with Rovers and thank him for his efforts at the club.
