Blackburn Rovers youth - teamer Osayamen Osawe has joined Accrington Stanley on an initial one - month deal, the official website of the League Two club is reporting.

The Anglo - Nigerian forward has netted twice in six appearances this season for the Blackburn U21s. To enable him continue his development, Blackburn have sanctioned his loan to Accrington Stanley, where he is expected to be a first - teamer.

Speaking to the official website, accringtonstanley.co.uk, Osawe said: ''I'm happy with the move. My manager told me that Accy were interested and I told him that I'd love to come here. Last year I came to watch some of the games so I know how Accy play and I'm happy with the club.''

Osawe made his debut for Accrington Stanley last weekend in their 1 - 0 home win over Bristol Rovers.
