Blackburn Rovers confirm youngster exit extension

Blackburn Rovers have opted to extend the loan exit of young defender Dan Pike to local side AFC Fylde until the end of the current 21/22 campaign.

Rovers have a number of good young players coming through at the moment and several have forced their way into the first team in recent years.

Indeed, it’s testament to the work being done at the club’s academy that several youngsters are helping Rovers trying to seal a play-off place in the Championship, and the hope will be that there is more to come through in the coming years.

Pike will be hoping he can be a product of the conveyer belt at Ewood Park, then, with the club deciding that the best thing for him is to stay with Fylde for the rest of this season.

Indeed, the club has confirmed the decision on social media:
