00:00Bristol City's George Tanner and Cameron Pring, both of whom have signed new contracts at the club recently, have looked ahead to the club's upcoming pre-season.
00:09This of course will be without Liam Manning, who has departed the club to take charge of Norwich City for the upcoming championship season.
00:19Not yet. Not yet because it's only been a week since the season finished.
00:23But I think in a few weeks I'll start missing it again and I'll look forward to coming back in and training and getting as fit as possible.
00:35But yeah, for now I think just rest up a little bit and then ready to go again in a few weeks.
00:40Yeah, the rest is well needed. It was a tough season for me really, sort of in and out of injuries and stuff like that.
00:46So I think the rest sort of come at a good time. But now it's about sort of staying fit and being ready for the next one.
00:52And how are you feeling after those couple of injuries?
00:55It feels good now. I feel really good. I feel like I've recovered really well.
01:00I don't feel any issues at all. So like I said, it's about staying fit now and giving myself the best chance for pre-season.
01:08And Bristol Rovers director of football Ricky Martin has said that both him and Daryl Clark will set internal targets at the club
01:16that they expect to be hit come the end of next season, where the Gats will play in League Two.
01:23It's about working with people, that collaborative approach. The recruitment team do a lot of great work behind the scenes,
01:30watching games and putting data and reports together. And collectively we'll discuss that.
01:36And we've all got different skill sets. I've got some experiences of working at different football clubs.
01:41And that's certainly going to help me going forward. So it's certainly not a one man fits all type approach.
01:47It's going to be a collaborative, but then we're going to have to make some good decisions and quick decisions to ensure we get the right players into this football club.
01:54And Daryl's experience to know what it takes and what it looks like to be a Bristol Rovers player is going to play a big part in that.
02:00We will have some expectation. We'll have some standard. We'll have some targets so that we will discuss and we'll keep within the training ground.
02:07To be honest, it's nothing we're going to put out there at the moment because collectively we know what we want it to look like next season.
02:14To be honest, it's nothing we're going to do.
