"Fortunate to have him" - Tommy Rowe waxes lyrical over Doncaster Rovers teammate

The winger arrived in South Yorkshire back in January, on a loan deal from League One side Lincoln City. He has been in scintillating form ever since, scoring four goals and also assisting a further four.

There is a clamour from many Rovers supporters to sign him permanently, understandable given his huge impact since pitching up.

Last Saturday saw Adelakun open the scoring with an audacious goal straight from a corner in the 2-0 win over Crewe Alexandra.

Rowe, who notched the second goal later on in the contest, paid tribute to Adelakun when speaking to the media post-match.

The two go back a long way and this is actually the third club they've played together at, with the duo previously teammates at Scunthorpe United and Bristol City.

"He's a great lad and I know him very well," Rowe said. "You know what you're going to get with Haks and not just on the pitch. He's a great lad around the training ground. He practices his skills a lot. It's not just on a matchday that he turns up and performs.

"He's dedicated and he cares and he's come from a good club in League One (Lincoln). He could play higher so we're fortunate to have his services so we'll use that.

"When you bring good practices into a club you get to be around that more and brings the best out of everyone. Hopefully his form continues until the end of the season."

Rovers travel to Colchester United tomorrow night.
