Lockyer, a Wales Under-21 international, joined Rovers on a scholarship in 2011 after being released by Cardiff.

He has made 40 appearances for the Pirates this season.

The 21-year-old said on www.bristolrovers.co.uk: "In all honesty, although there was a little bit of interest from one or two other clubs, I didn't have any hesitation in signing for Rovers.
