Defender and midfielder Niall Mason has called on his social media followers to help track down his white Mercedes which was taken from his Edlington home shortly after the footballer had returned to the property following Rovers 1-1 draw with Derby County at the Keepmoat Stadium on Tuesday night.

Posting a picture of the snatched vehicle, the 20-year-old, who joined Rovers on a permanent deal from Aston Villa in May, wrote on Facebook: "STOLEN car reg CK66 YHG white Mercedes from EDLINGTON DONCASTER, anybody with information please ring the police."
