Blackburn bring Branthwaite to bolster defence
Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite during the Preseason Friendly match at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool

EVERTON’S Jarrad Branthwaite has joined Blackburn Rovers on loan for the rest of the 2020-21 season in a move which bolsters the Lancashire club’s defence as they make a push for the play-off places.

Injuries to other defenders mean the 18-year-old centreback could make his debut in tomorrow’s Championship fixture against Stoke City.

Tony Mowbray’s side have impressed at times so far this season with a possession-oriented game which wouldn’t look out of place in the top tier of English football.
