Kilkenny still on Rovers radar

06 June 2009 12:49
The Elland Road side rejected a bid from Rovers for the 23-year-old earlier this week. Kilkenny has been a long-time target for Doncaster and assistant manager Richard O'Kelly is hopeful a deal can be struck. "He is a player we have been interested in for 18 months and a player who we will continue to be interested in," O'Kelly told The Star. "We made a discreet enquiry and were told he is still part of their plans so we left it at that - but everybody has got a price. "I first saw him as a 16-year-old playing for Birmingham City against Aston Villa in a reserve match and he ran the show - he was absolutely magnificent. He had a lot of confidence and he is a player we have kept tabs on ever since. "We were interested in him when he left Birmingham but he chose Leeds."
