Hill makes Blackburn loan move

Defender James Hill has completed a loan move to Championship side Blackburn Rovers.

The 21-year-old made his Premier League debut against West Ham in the opening weekend of the season, coming on as a second-half substitute.

He spent the second half of 2022/23 on loan at Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian, making 17 appearances in all competitions.

Hill links up with Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side on a season-long deal and could be involved in their fixture with Plymouth Argyle this weekend.

Everyone connected with the club wishes James well for the rest of the season.
