MOWBRAY PRAISE FOR REED

HARRISON Reed has “evolved” as a player during his loan spell at Blackburn, according to manager Tony Mowbray.

The versatile 23-yearold had made two substitute appearances for Rovers until September 22 when he was handed a start against Stoke.

Southampton loanee Reed scored what turned out to be the winning goal in a 3-2 victory and has been a regular since.

Mowbray said: “He’s forced his way into the starting XI through his work rate, his athleticism and his tenacity.

“The group like his personality and I hope he’s enjoying his football with us.”
