Liam Harwood is a defender who signed for Rovers on transfer deadline day, 1st September 2008. Harwood was out of contract at Carshalton Athletic from the end of the 2007-08 season, but because he was under the age of 24 Carshalton were still entitled to a transfer fee. He had initially agreed to join Blue Square South side Bromley, but they were forced to release him back to Carshalton after failing to agree a transfer fee – Carshalton wanted £10,000 but Bromley were only prepared to spend £500 on the player.
