ROVERS have announced Middlesbrough winger Harry Chapman as the club’s latest summer signing.

Chapman joins Rovers on loan on a season-long loan and is set to travel with the squad for tomorrow’s League One curtain raiser at Southend United.

The 19-year-old comes highly rated, with Rovers seeing off competition from a number of sides to land the England Under-20 international.

Tony Mowbray has raided his former club for Chapman as he looks to add more goals to his squad to aid their quest to win promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt.

The winger has had two separate loan spells in League One so far, winning promotion in each of the last two seasons.

He played 14 times for last year’s champions Sheffield United, scoring four goals, with 12 of those appearances coming as a substitute, in a spell that was disrupted by a long-term injury.

Chapman also spent time on loan with Barnsley in 2015/16, also making 14 outings, helping the Reds to achieve promotion via the play-offs as well as lifting the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy.

He will compete for one of the wide spots in a Rovers squad which already boasts the likes of Elliott Bennett, Craig Conway and Liam Feeney.

The winger is the ninth signing of the summer for Mowbray following Peter Whittingham, Richie Smallwood, Bradley Dack, Ben Gladwin, Dominic Samuel, Paul Caddis, Joe Nuttall and Jayson Leutwiler through the Ewood Park arrivals door.

Chapman will wear the number eight shirt and has been granted permission to feature for Rovers in the Carabao Cup, Checkatrade Trophy and FA Cup competitions.
