Mason relishing Rovers opportunity

Doncaster's latest loan signing Ryan Mason has spoken of his excitement after being handed a chance to progress his career in the npower Championship. The 19-year-old, who made a total of 29 appearances while on loan at Yeovil last season, was thrown straight into Sean O'Driscoll's starting line-up against Bristol City after arriving for an initial month on Friday. Mason told the club's official website: "I was hoping to get out on loan. I wanted to try and make the step up from last year from League One to the Championship. "When I got the call from Tim Sherwood, who said that Doncaster were interested, I was buzzing and couldn't wait to get up here. "For us younger lads at Spurs, it's vital to get out on loan - preferably in the Championship and get as much football as we can. "For me to come up to Doncaster, I felt that it would suit the way that I play and I was really excited about it."
