Nathan Ellington's stay at Ewood Park could become a permanent one after Sam Allardyce hinted he wants to resurrect the striker's career.
The former Wigan star has been on trial with Rovers after being released by Watford at the end of last season and Big Sam is keen to keep the player Latics fans dubbed 'The Duke' at the Lancashire club.
He said: "I like to try and resurrect somebody. This is a lad with a huge amount of talent and has a really good CV from his time particularly at Wigan.
"He's only 28 so, whatever went wrong, if we can put things right we'll have a real player on our hands but he has to prove it in the few days he is with us."
