Gary Bowyer rubbishes Blackburn Rovers exit for Jordan Rhodes

Blackburn Rovers manager Gary Bowyer insists that Jordan Rhodes isn't going to be loaned to one of the club's Championship rivals.

Blackburn Rovers manager Gary Bowyer has rubbished reports linking Jordan Rhodes with a loan move away from the club.

It had been suggested that Blackburn could let Rhodes join one of their Championship rivals with a view to a permanent purchase, but Bowyer is confident that the 25-year-old is going nowhere.

"I just don't understand why we would want to consider loaning one of our players to rivals in the Championship," Bowyer told the club website.

"I think it has come out of possibly the fact that he wasn't involved in the starting XI on Sunday [at Liverpool]. But if you look at our gameplan and how we went about, it we were never going to go to Anfield with two strikers.

"There's been a lot said about going to Anfield and Premier League teams playing two strikers and not getting anything there, so we certainly weren't going to be do that. So I think it has all come out of that really."

Rhodes has netted 13 league goals this term after notching more than 50 in his first two seasons with Blackburn following an £8m move from Huddersfield Town.
