The form of young goalkeeper Jake Kean has impressed Blackburn Rovers manager Michael Appleton.
Kean's form is currently keeping former England international Paul Robinson out of the side.
Appleton said: "He's obviously a lad who's had an opportunity and his reputation is growing game by game.
"He's got half a chance, the kid. At the start of the season he was probably third-choice goalkeeper and he's taken the mantle on and he's earned the right to be number-one keeper at the minute."
