Lancashires home grown Indiana Jones looks promising!!!Blackburn Rovers have an England star in the making with young Phil Jones and Big Sam realises the importance of keeping hold of young talent, not only for the club also for the country.Phil Jones was born in Preston, Lancashire on 21st February 1992 and has been with Rovers since 2002, when he joined at just aged 11.Jones has emerged Darren Waller Jersey through the ranks at Eawood Park and after a first season with the academy was given the call from the reserves where he rapidly became a regular starter.On the 22nd September 2009 the boy known around Eawood as Indiana Jones finally made the step up he could only dream of as a boy. He was named in the squad that went to the city ground beating Nottingham Forest 1-0, where Joness man of the match debut display helped Rovers into the last 16 and also proving to Sam Alladyce he was not wrong to give him the opportunity, also decisive evidence to back up the decision to give the youngster a squad number (28) at the start of the Benton Whitley Jersey 2009/10 campaign.His impre sive run in the reserves and his outstanding first team appearance earned the versatile rookie a debut for his country at under 19s level in a 3-1 win over Turkey.Towards the tail end of last season after putting in the hard work, also being patient his opportunity finally arose, with Rovers captain Ryan Nelsen picking up a knee injury and Samba finding himself suspended. The test set for Jones could not elevate any higher, with one of the hottest strike forces in Europe visiting Eawood Park, a Chelsea side that had been scoring for fun in what turned out to be a succe sful season.It was yet again a tremendous performance from the defender who has recently been compared with John Terry, a player Jones has idolised growing up, but the Former England captain was the league debutants opposite number on the day and Indianas solid display rewarded his side with a well deserved point.Big Sam spoke after the game crediting the local lad in what was a display that any centre back would be proud of and described him as a Shinning light. Joness display also was a major talking point on match of the day 2 where former defender, now pundit Alan Hansen commented that his performance was unbelievably good.Jones went on playing an important role towards the finally of the season, in all making nine appearances in the 2009/10 campaign, showing the bo Isaiah Mckenzie Jersey s and the supporters he can eventually be a major cog in the side with a very bright future ahead.The summer of 2010 looked to keep on shining for the youngster as he was excluded from the under 19s as he was viewed as a under 21s star in the making at international level when he was called up on August 4th. It took only six days for Stewart Pearce to give Jones his first taste after the climb up ladder starting him against Uzbekistan in a friendly at Ashton gate where he played the first half, showing off the reason hes making Mark Glowinski Jersey great advances with his career.Speculation has it that opportunists are out for the defender, with teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and City sniffing around I believe even if the offer was towering over the value of the player, Big Sam would cut his nose off to spite his face. Arsenal have been rumoured to have had a nine million figure turned down from Rovers.Manger Sam Alladyce has vowed he will look after the youngster and wont run him into the ground overplaying him avoiding a plague of injuries later on during his career, he will adopt a careful approach in his progre sion claiming he has not fully formed into a adult as of yet.The Lancashire hot shot is vastly becoming a fan favourite around Eawood, hes just the lad who lives next door getting his opportunity for his boyhood team, its a dream come true for Jones who every time he steps out on to the pitch gives his all, you just cant put a price on pa sion.At the end of last season Indiana secured a new five year deal keeping him on at Blackburn until 2015.He started the new campaign playing in front of the defence in a defensive midfield role where he looked extremely comfortable with a prestige performance helping his side to victory in a curtain raiser against a strong Everton side with high hopes.The importance for Blackburn to hold on to the youngster not only for there sake but also his own is boarder line compulsory, too many times before has young talent been snapped up by the top guns in the game and with the variety of super stars on show Kayvon Thibodeaux Jersey at them clubs very rarely do the up and coming youngsters get the chance.Its vital Rovers hang on to dear life to Phil Jones and you never know we may have an England captain in the making.
