League One club Doncaster Rovers have appointed former Peterborough manager Grant McCann as their new manager.

The 38-year-old replaces Darren Ferguson, who left the club earlier this month after nearly three years at the Keepmoat Stadium.

McCann told Doncaster's official website: "I cannot wait to get started. Doncaster are a club with real potential and ambition, and after meeting the chairman and chief executive I am confident we can work together to get the club into the Championship and stay there."

"We have the makings of a successful season, with a good squad of players and backroom staff already in place to provide the foundations.

"Rovers are renowned in football as leaders off the pitch for our community and fan engagement work, and I am really excited to join a club with such a culture."
