Gallo wants a Rovers lifeline

Jun 15 2008

SCOT Paul Gallagher has vowed to have one last crack at salvaging his Blackburn career when the club's new manager takes over.

The striker, sent out on loan to Stoke and Preston in recent seasons, still has two years of his Rovers contract to run.

QPR, Preston and Nottingham Forest are desperate to sign Gallagher but he is determined to stay at Ewood and try to impress whoever is appointed Mark Hughes' successor.

The 23-year-old said: "It just didn't work out for me under Hughes but I want to give it one last try at Blackburn with the new manager.

"Hopefully it will be a fresh start at Ewood but if not a few Championship clubs want me. I also wouldn't rule out a move back to Scotland."
