Holloway hails Baptiste quality

Baptiste has signed a new contract that will keep him at Bloomfield Road until June 2013. The versatile defender has performed admirably in several positions this season and, according to Holloway, has not always got the credit he deserves. Holloway said: "Everyone has been talking about Charlie Adam's form but Baps has played at left-back, right-back and centre-back and he has been different class. "I believe he can play in the Premiership and I have told him that. "I am working on the areas he needs working on but as a defender I don't think I have had a better one and I am delighted he has signed."
