Blackburn Rovers midfielder Alex Marrow has moved to Highbury Stadium for a second loan spell at Fleetwood Town.

The 23-year-old, who spent the first half of last season on loan with the Cod Army from previous club Crystal Palace, will remain with the League Two side until the end of the season.

Marrow started the first three matches of the season for Blackburn but has since found first-team opportunities minimal and Rovers manager Gary Bowyer believes that a loan spell will help his development.

"It has been tough for Alex but he now has this opportunity to go and play games and that should suit everybody concerned," Boywer told the club's official website.

Marrow could make his second Fleetwood debut when they host Hartlepool United on Saturday.
