LUFC Paynter training with Rovers

Transfer listed Leeds United striker Billy Paynter is training with Doncaster Rovers.

Paynter started the week training with championship side Blackpool but the seaside club have decided against offering the 28 year old a deal.

Rovers have been linked with a move for Paynter in the last week and Rovers boss Dean Saunders as said this week that he is looking to bring in three or four players before the weekend.

Paynter has spent two frustrating seasons at Elland Road following his signing from Swindon Town in the summer of 2010.

The 28 year old has netted just three times in twenty-eight appearances in his two seasons with the club.

Paynter made just three appearances last season and he spent time out on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion where he failed to score in ten appearances.

The striker was signed by Leeds after a hugely successful spell at Swindon Town where he netted 52 goals in 137 appearances, including 29 goals in League One during the 2009/10 season.
