McFadzean in talks ahead of possible Rovers exit

Blackburn Rovers' veteran defender Kyle McFadzean could be on his way out of the Championship club, according to boss John Eustace.

The 37-year-old joined Rovers in January 2024 on an initial short-term deal however he extended his time at Rovers during the summer.

He has made three appearances for the club this term, all of which have come from the bench, with his most recent coming in their 1-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday in December.

"He came in today and there's an opportunity for him to move elsewhere. He'll be talking to that club today or tomorrow," Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"He's a fantastic professional and most importantly, a fantastic person.

"It was very important that we re-signed him in the summer. You can see the effect he's had on the whole group.

"It's been a frustrating time for him because the centre-halves have done so well. He's someone that I've got huge respect for."

Eustace also revealed the club were interested in signing one player with two weeks of the January transfer window remaining, while Jake Garrett and Connor O'Riordan could depart on loan.

"I think there was a bid for one player. I don't know how that's turned out. Apart from that, I'm not sure about anything else," he added.

"Those two [Garrett and O'Riordan] will go out on loan again. They'll get the minutes for their development."
