Blackburn Rovers’ Director of Football Gregg Broughton has said they will ‘welcome’ back Lewis Travis this summer.

Blackburn Rovers loaned out the midfielder to fellow Championship side Ipswich Town in the January transfer window.

Travis, 26, is due to return to Ewood Park at the end of this season when his temporary deal at Portman Road expires.

Broughton has said, as per a report by the Lancashire Telegraph: “Lewis is a terrific footballer, a terrific human being. I really enjoyed working with him during his time at the club. I said in the summer, I was meeting with him every day or every other day with the challenges going on.

“I was seeing him more than my family at home! We will welcome him back and we retain a really good working relationship with Lewis.”

The Lancashire outfit handed him his debut three years later and he has since made 223 appearances for them in all competitions to date, chipping in with six goals.

Travis’ time with Rovers turned a bit stale under Tomasson, hence why he was give the green light to head out the exit door when Ipswich Town came calling.

He has since played eight times for the Tractor Boys under Kieran McKenna as they battle it out with the likes of Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton for a place in the Premier League. Their next game is an away trip to Hull City next weekend.
