I’ve worked hard to make it at Blackburn Rovers insists Junior Hoilett

Junior Hoilett believes he has earned his place at Blackburn Rovers this season.

Tied down at Ewood Park until the summer of 2012, the 19-year-old Canadian has earned the chance to establish himself as a regular in the world’s biggest league, but there were times when even he doubted it would ever happen.

He told the Lancashire Telegraph: “I have had to go over a few hurdles but they have all helped me. They have all made me stronger and I feel I am ready for anything.

“They have made me stronger as a player and a person.

“This is just the start but it feels as though I have been through a lot to get here. There were times when I had little doubts and I guess it would have been easy to have taken the easy option and gone home.

“I have always wanted to be a professional footballer though and that helped me through some difficult times. My family have been brilliant and I wouldn’t be here without them and the club has also been great for me.”
