Harrison Reed has won Newcomer of the Year at Blackburn Rovers.

Reed, who returned to the south coast with an ankle injury last month, joined the Championship side on a season-long loan at the beginning of the season.

Reed made 36 appearances for Rovers, scoring three times.

And speaking to the Blackburn Rovers website, Reed said: “To come here, to put in performances and to get some recognition at the end of the season is something I looked to do when I first joined in the summer.

“I’m pleased with it. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it at Rovers since I first stepped foot in the training ground.

“Having met the boys and the manager I knew it was the place to come and improve and show what I can do.

“I can’t thank the boys, the gaffer and the staff enough.”
