Hendry leaves Rovers post

Rovers have this afternoon announced the departure of the former defender Colin Hendry from his role as an under 21 coach at the club.

The Scot, who is very much a cult figure at Ewood for his two stints at Rovers, one as a stalwart in the Premier League winning side of 1994/95, has left a brief statement.

“I`ve enjoyed the last couple of seasons working with Gary Bowyer. I wish him well and hope he can guide Blackburn Rovers back into the Premier League.”

Hendry, who was hired as a first team coach under loathsome former manager Steve Kean, moved position from the first team to under-21 development but has now been released from his contract.
