Rigters hints at loan exit

12 Oct 2007 - 10:18:30

Blackburn Rovers forward Maceo Rigters wants the club to send him out on loan should he continue to be overlooked for first-team action.

The 23-year-old Dutchman has managed only four minutes of action in the Premier League following his summer signing from NAC Breda.

Rigters has made just four other fleeting appearances for Mark Hughes' side in the InterToto, UEFA and Carling Cups so far this season and is keen to play more first-team football in the coming weeks.

"Of course that is frustrating," he told Dutch media.

"But there are some very good players before me and when the club wins four games in a row, you know that you still have to wait for a chance.

"(Mark) Hughes told me that I have simply been unlucky and that the other strikers are doing so well. So who knows? I might be playing games in a couple of weeks.

"If that is not the case, I want to see the club loan me out as soon as possible. But I am not thinking about that yet."
