Rovers Extend Fortune Trial

Last updated : 23 February 2008 By Dan Clough
The South African international has been on trial with Rovers for the past week and manager Mark Hughes has taken the decision to give him another week before deciding on making a move.

The 30 year old former Manchester United midfielder had a trial period earlier this season with Sunderland but former team mate Roy Keane chose not to offer him a permanent deal.

Fortune travelled with the squad to their American training camp last week and Hughes believes he is a player who still has talent.

"Quinton has been with us a week, we took him away with us and he's done okay. We'll probably keep him for another week and make a decision on him then," Hughes told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"He has good quality and a good pedigree. He hasn't played for quite some time at the top level, which we're mindful of, but he's done himself no harm."
