Matthew Platt's three senior appearances for Blackburn Rovers came in the EFL Trophy last season

Accrington Stanley have signed defender Matthew Platt on a season-long loan deal from Blackburn Rovers.

The 20-year-old began his career with Rovers as a trainee and has made three senior appearances for the club.

"I had a brief spell [on loan] at Barrow a couple of seasons ago but, apart from that, this is my first spell away from Blackburn," Platt said.

"It's a big stage, I have come here to play first team football in League One and hopefully I will do that."
