Yeovil Town have made their first summer signing by acquiring seasoned midfielder Zain Westbrooke from Doncaster Rovers, securing his services on a three-year contract.
The 29-year-old arrives at Huish Park following an impressive loan spell with Scunthorpe United, where he quickly became a fan favorite as the Iron advanced to the National League play-off semi-finals. Yeovil reportedly overcame interest from multiple League Two and National League clubs to finalize the deal.
Westbrooke brings extensive experience to Yeovil, boasting over 220 senior appearances, predominantly in the Football League. His career highlights include promotion triumphs with Coventry City, where he lifted the League One title, and Doncaster Rovers, with whom he won the League Two championship. He has also been a regular contributor for Bristol Rovers.
