Blackburn Rovers win Tom Lawrence loan race

Leicester City forward Tom Lawrence says that he "can't wait to get going" after joining Blackburn Rovers on a half-season loan deal.

Blackburn Rovers have completed the loan signing of former Manchester United forward Tom Lawrence.

The Wales Under-21s international becomes transfer-restricted Rovers' seventh signing of the summer.

After joining Leicester City from Manchester United last year, the 21-year-old has since spent time at Rotherham United.

A number of Championship teams were said to be battling it out to land Lawrence once more, with Blackburn the side coming out on top to sign the Welshman until January 3.

Speaking to his new club's official website, Lawrence said: "It's a good club and I can't wait to get going now. I knew there was interest but it has all happened so quickly, I'm just happy that is all done.

"I know a few of the lads here already so I'm sure I'll get a bit of stick. I was with Shane Duffy at Yeovil and I know Adam Henley from my time with Wales so it is good."

Lawrence, who will wear the number 16 shirt, goes straight into Blackburn's squad for Saturday's trip to Brighton & Hove Albion.
