Pontus Dahlberg qualified for the Europa Conference League while on loan at BK Hacken

Doncaster Rovers have signed Watford goalkeeper Pontus Dahlberg on a season-long loan deal.

The 22-year-old, who has represented Sweden up to under-21 level, spent last season in his homeland with BK Hacken.

Dahlberg joined the Hornets from Gothenburg in January 2018 but is yet to feature for the Premier League side.

Rovers have also made a second eve-of-season signing by bringing in experienced midfielder Dan Gardner, 31, on a one-year contract.

The former Crewe Alexandra, Chesterfield, Oldham Athletic and Wigan Athletic man has been on trial since the return to pre-season training.

Dahlberg is the second Watford player to join Richie Wellens' Rovers this summer after forward Tiago Cukur.

The Yorkshire side start their season at home to AFC Wimbledon on Saturday,
