Kevin Blackwell has secured the services of Blackburn’s Anton Forrester on a six month loan deal.

Anton signed for Blackburn following a trial at Ewood Park following his release from Everton in the 2013 transfer window.

A strong attacking player with a good turn of pace, Anton scored his first goals for Rovers in only his second appearance with a brace for the Under-21s 2-1 win over Chelsea in February 2013, going on to score four goals in his first four reserve-team outings.

Anton is in the South West with the Shakers at the Cornwall training camp, and scored seven goals for the Shakers during Tuesday evenings 15-0 win against St Blazey.  He could also feature in this evening’s game with Wadebridge Town.

Anton will be at Gigg Lane until 01 January.
