Grant McCann was re-appointed as Doncaster Rovers manager on 12 May 2023 and led the club to the League Two title in the 2023-24 season.

Promotion Success and League Position

As of mid-2025 Doncaster Rovers earned promotion to League One after winning the Sky Bet League Two title and finishing four points above Port Vale. The team has since shown inconsistency in League One fixtures and sits around 17th-18th in the table, five points above the relegation zone.

Strong Home Record at Eco-Power Stadium

Doncaster Rovers play home matches at the Eco-Power Stadium, which has a capacity of just over 15,000. The club has recorded a strong home performance, scoring in their last 12 matches at the venue and achieving three consecutive wins before a recent setback.

These results reflect the continued influence of the manager who returned in 2023 and delivered the League Two championship the following season. The current mid-table position in League One places the side in a position where further home points could help maintain distance from the lower reaches of the division.

The Eco-Power Stadium remains the focal point for supporters seeking to back the team during this period of adjustment to the higher level. Recent form at the ground has provided a foundation that the club can build upon in upcoming fixtures.

Attention now turns to how the squad maintains its home scoring sequence and seeks greater consistency on the road to secure a more comfortable standing in the table.
