One Direction's Louis Tomlinson becomes co-owner of Doncaster Rovers

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has become the co-owner of League One football club Doncaster Rovers.

The singer has been embroiled in a takeover bid alongside former chairman John Ryan over the last few weeks.

The deal, however, went through today (June 19), according to Ryan.

He told BBC Radio Sheffield that he and Tomlinson have snapped up 90% of the club's shares, with the two men set to become co-chairmen.

A press conference is due to be held later today to formally announce the news.

Ryan is expected to take on the day-to-day running of the club.
