Bristol Rovers make bid for Oxford's top scorer

Sky Sports understands Bristol Rovers have tabled a bid for Oxford United striker James Constable. The 27-year-old has caught the eye of the Pirates after finishing the season as Oxford's top scorer with 11 goals. It remains to be seen whether Constable would be interested in a move to the Us' League Two rivals, having turned down a switch to Swindon in January. The frontman has two years remaining on his contract at the Kassam Stadium after penning a new deal last summer. Constable initially joined Oxford on loan from Shrewsbury in 2008 before signing permanently the following year.
