Nick Blackman has returned to Blackburn Rovers Football Club.

The 20-year-old striker has spent the first half of the season on loan at Oldham Athletic, where he scored one goal in twelve games for the League One strugglers.

Blackman has now returned to Ewood Park to link up with Sam Allardyce’s squad, and he does so with the blessing of Latics manager Dave Penney.

"Hopefully he goes back to Blackburn a better player and we want to thank Sam Allardyce for allowing Nick and to be with us this season," he told the club's official website.
