Blackburn captain Christopher Samba has hailed the form of youngster Junior Hoilett. The 20-year-old Canadian playmaker has flourished since Steve Kean took over as manager at Ewood Park last December. Samba, who recently agreed a new deal at the club, believes Hoilett can be an important player in Rovers' future. Samba told the club's website: "I never had any doubt about Junior. "He is a great player but it is always difficult as a young player because you need a second game, a third, a fourth to pick up the pace of the game. "Now Junior is a big part of the team and every time he has the ball he can be dangerous. He has big quality and we are happy he is with us."
