Rigters could leave on loan

Frustrated Blackburn Rovers striker Maceo Rigters has told the club that he may leave on loan if he is unable to hold down a regular starting berth. The 23-year-old summer signing from NAC Breda has told the press he is finding life difficult in Blackburn.

"Of course that is frustrating," said Rigters.

"But there are some very good players before me and when the club wins four games in a row, you know that you still have to wait for a chance."

Rigters hopes to get his chance in the coming weeks and was encouraged by a recent chat with Blackburn boss Mark Hughes.

He said: "Hughes told me that I have simply been unlucky and that the other strikers are doing so well. So who knows? I might be playing games in a couple of weeks."
