Igor Tyjon signs as a scholar

Rovers are delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with top young talent Igor Tyjon for him to remain at Ewood Park, amidst interest from a host of Premier League clubs.
The 16-year-old starlet, who has already been part of the matchday squad for two Championship games, is one of 14 promising players to sign a two-year scholarship contract with the club through to June 2026.
Tyjon joined Rovers from Rochdale last summer and has enjoyed a meteoric rise for both club and country over the past 12 months.
He scored on his debut for Rovers Under-21s against PSV Eindhoven aged just 15 last November, before making the bench for the first team fixture away to Bristol City in April.
He then bagged a match-winning brace against Everton in Premier League 2 just a few days later, before again being part of the first team squad for the final day triumph over champions Leicester City.
On the international scene, he has earned three caps for both England and Poland Under-16s, scoring twice for each nation, including a brace on his Young Lions debut in a 3-1 victory over Saudi Arabia in the Football Federations Cup in February.
The exciting and energetic attacker has been training with the first team since the start of pre-season and is expected to remain with the senior squad ahead of the upcoming 2024-25 Championship campaign.
