Jack Byrne: Blackbyrne Rovers move ‘no brainer’

Ireland U21 international midfielder Jack Byrne has dubbed his season-long loan move to Blackburn Rovers from Manchester City as a “no brainer”.

As soon as the 20-year-old met new Rovers’ boss Owen Coyle, he was sold on the deal.

He said: “I’m absolutely delighted and I cannot wait to get started. I know even when the fixtures came out the other day, I was looking at them and you get excited and you get a little tingle in your stomach.
