Rovers are delighted to confirm that winger Kyle Hurst has agreed a new two-and-a-half year deal with the club.
The 21-year-old initially arrived at the Eco-Power Stadium from Sky Bet Championship side Birmingham City last summer after impressing while on trial throughout pre-season.
He has since gone on to score seven goals in 36 appearances in all competitions, and established himself as a key player under Danny Schofield
Hurst said: “I’m very happy about it. It’s a big achievement for me, my family and the people around me. I’m looking forward to just kicking on.
“I see it as a reward. It’s a really nice feeling. I feel appreciated by the club, which is massive. I just want to keep working hard.”
Head coach Danny Schofield said: “Kyle is certainly a player that has a lot of potential. He has lots more to give and lots more to develop. I feel as though he’s been doing really well this season to move in the direction.
“For him to give that effort and application, showing that he can impact the team both in attack and defence, this contract is well-deserved.”
