Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean is convinced of big things from Jason Lowe.

The youngster has tasted Premier League action in recent games.

Kean said: "We had a couple of brief glimpses of Jason Lowe last season, when he did a job on Frank Lampard and he played excellently against QPR the week before.

"It is a good sign that the senior players are giving him the ball all the time because they trust him. He went away with England under 20s, captained that side and the England staff gave him rave reviews.

"That much so that England under 21 boss Stuart Pearce was up at the training ground to have a look at him close hand and he is progressing well.

"He is normally a mid-field player but he has showed his adaptability by playing full back.

"I think his athletic abilities show he can play there as well.

"Jason has shown he has qualities, he is a fantastic young pro with the amount of hours he is in the building each day.

"He is top notch."
