The Pompey boss has landed one of his key summer targets with Marquis tonight sealing his arrival from Doncaster.

Jackett told portsmouthfc.co.uk: ‘I’m really pleased to work with John again after giving him his debut at Millwall.

‘He’s a proven striker, who I believe is entering his prime, so it’s an excellent signing for us and we’re delighted.

‘John’s got a great goal record, but is also an all-round striker, who will work hard for the team and can bring other people into the game.’
