Former Bristol Rovers loanee Joel Cotterill has joined Dundee until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old was on loan at Bristol Rovers for the first part of the season from Swansea City until the end of the season.

But the Welsh club recalled Cotteril – and now he has been brought up to the Scottish side or the rest of the 2025/26 campaign.

Cotteril has been at Swansea City his entire career joined the academy at seven years old, where he has known fellow Swans loanee Cam Congreve for the same amount of time. He has enjoyed loan spells at Stockport County, Swindon Town and more recently Bristol Rovers.

Speaking after joining the Dee, he said, “It’s a good feeling, nice to be here. I had a Zoom call with the gaffer, was really interesting, said nothing but good things about the club, that really hooked me in. Obviously knowing Cam (Congreve), Yan (Dhanda) and Joe Westley helped, I had a few chats with Cam who spoke highly about his time up here so far and would be really good for me, ready for a new challenge.”
