Rovers boss, Darrell Clarke who coached Bell-Baggie during his time with Salisbury City said the absence of five players due to international duty and others due to injury forced them to sign Bell-Baggie who is a free agent.
“It's very difficult, with only six games of the season remaining, to bring in a player who has the ability to step straight into the side if selected," Clarke told the club’s website. "We will be without five players and it's imperative that we have cover in the event of any more players going missing through injury in the remaining weeks of the season and Abdulai fits that bill."
Bell-Baggie started his career at Reading and has also had spells with Rotherham, Crawley, Port Vale, Yeovil and Hayes & Yeading.
