Brighton Recall Eiran Cashin, Loan Him to Blackburn Rovers

Brighton redirected the 24-year-old to Blackburn to seek regular minutes in Valerien Ismael’s back-three system.

Overview

  • Cashin’s loan at Birmingham City was cut short before he completed a move to Blackburn for the rest of the season.
  • He struggled for minutes at Birmingham, with three Championship starts and eight substitute appearances in the first half of the campaign.
  • Two errors on his full league debut against Sheffield Wednesday pushed him down the pecking order, with brief Christmas-period starts at left-back before a final cameo at Coventry in a back three.
  • Blackburn have been operating a back three under Valerien Ismael and recently used rookie George Pratt on the left side, creating a clear opening for Cashin.
  • Cashin said he chose the move to play regularly and expressed enthusiasm after speaking with the manager about his role, while new representative Curtis Davies oversaw the deal.
