- Notes
- The number of years at the club is the number of complete years since the player signed for Bristol Rovers. For players who were loaned in first and then signed permanently it is the time since their permanent signing. For youth team graduates it is the length of time since their first professional contract came into force, even if they were involved with the first team before this date.
- Nationality is defined as the country represented by a player at any level of international football, or their country of birth if they have never played internationally.
- The shirt number 12 is used by Gasheads to represent the fans as the 12th Man. The number has been retired since the 2002–03 season.
