Paul Lambert rules out Darragh Lenihan loan move

Young midfielder Darragh Lenihan will not be leaving Blackburn Rovers on loan in the New Year, according to manager Paul Lambert.

Blackburn Rovers manager Paul Lambert has revealed that he has no intention of allowing Darragh Lenihan to leave the club on loan.

The 21-year-old has been used just once so far this campaign when playing the full 90 minutes in a 2-1 League Cup defeat to Shrewsbury Town.

Lenihan, who made a breakthrough into the first team at the tail end of last season, was a part of Rovers' squad for last weekend's trip to Bristol City and Lambert now intends to use the youngster more often.

"Darragh is close to the team so I certainly won't let him out on loan," he is quoted as saying by the Lancashire Telegraph. "I've been really impressed with him in the last couple of reserve and Under-21s games that I've seen.

"He's definitely got a big chance in the game with the way that he plays so he's one I won't be letting out on loan."

Lenihan is currently struggling with a back injury, which could force him out of this evening's meeting with Rotherham United at Ewood Park.
