Hoilett happy at Rovers
Junior Hoilett is enjoying life at Blackburn and the Canadian would be willing to discuss a contract extension to keep him at Ewood Park.[LNB] The 21-year-old forward forced his way into Steve Kean's first-team plans towards the end of last season, notching five goals in 17 starts.[LNB]Having displayed what he is capable of when given a regular run in the side, Hoilett's star is on the rise.[LNB]Kean is all too aware of how easily promising youngsters can be lured away from Ewood Park once they make a name for themselves and has moved quickly to prevent such a scenario from arising.[LNB]He has met with Hoilett's father and agent in his native Canada to discuss a new deal and force home just how important the talented playmaker is to the Rovers cause.[LNB]It appears as though his efforts have been worthwhile, as Hoilett has revealed that he is prepared to talk terms.[LNB]"I am happy at Blackburn Rovers playing for them consistently and of course I would be prepared to sign a new contract," he said.[LNB]"Right now I am focused on playing for Blackburn and making a name for myself in the league. The national side will come after that and I am focusing on Blackburn.[LNB]"I just kept focused, listened to my family and friends and when I got my shot I had to take it.[LNB]"I had to work hard and capitalise on every opportunity I got. I did that and showed a consistent performance to keep myself in the side."
