"Byron Anthony is a central defender who joined Rovers in the summer of 2006. He was signed by Paul Trollope and Lenny Lawrence without having previously played a single Football League match, but he quickly asserted himself as a first-team regular playing alongside Steve Elliott in the centre of defence. He suffered a setback however when he suffered a broken metatarsel in October 2007, which sidelined him for approximately five months. After returning from that injury he returned to playing regular first team football, helped by his ability to fill in at both fullback positions when required."@en . "9"^^ . "163"^^ . . . "37"^^ .

After returning from that injury he returned to playing regular first team football, helped by his ability to fill in at both fullback positions when required. When Paul Buckle took over the manager's position in the summer of 2011 he brought in a large number of his own players, resulting in Byron playing less often during the 2011\u201312 season. He was eventually loaned out to Rovers' League Two rivals Hereford United on a month-long deal in mid-February 2012, later extended until the end of the season. With his contract up that summer it was perhaps not a great surprise when he was released, at which point he was Rovers' longest serving player. He is a former Welsh Under-21 international, winning a total of five caps at that level in 2004 and 2005."@en . "2009"^^ . "Hereford United"@en . "2006"^^ . . "2012-06-30"^^ . "2007"^^ .
