Blackburn Rovers attacker Bradley Dack has described manager Tony Mowbray as a breath of fresh air to the EFL Twitter account and believes he has helped improve him as a player during his time at Ewood Park.

“He’s been great for me. I couldn’t say a bad word about him. He lets me play the way I like to play. He’s been a breath of fresh air really. He’s improved me as a player which is important, and he’s improved me as a person too which says everything about the man,” Dack explained.

Tony Mowbray arrived at Ewood Park in 2017 and helped Rovers make an immediate return to the Championship following their disappointing relegation to League One.

The former Middlesbrough manager has made several changes at Blackburn, yet his most impressive signing at the club was the addition of Bradley Dack in the summer of 2017.

The 25-year-old attacker hit 18 goals during Rovers’ promotion from League One, before going on to grab another 15 goals in the Championship last term.

Dack cost Blackburn in the region of £750,000. Now, it would take a huge fee to prize him away from Ewood Park, with Sky Sports claiming West Bromwich Albion saw a £15 million offer turned down last year.

The former Gillingham man boasts plenty of potential and Blackburn will be hoping he can lead the Rovers back to the Premier League with this season being their eighth year out of the top-flight.
