Hope Akpan Aims To Score More Goals For Blackburn Rovers

After opening his Blackburn Rovers goalscoring account last weekend, Hope Akpan is confident that he can score more goals for the club.

The Nigeria international had not scored a goal in the league for close to two years before netting in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday, and was initially wrongly credited with a goal against  Preston North End.

“I was very pleased to get my first goal,” said Akpan , according to Lancashire Telegraph.

“I did a good job of convincing everyone I scored last week so it’s good to have got off the mark.

“Now the aim has got to be to get a few more before the end of the season. I have proved in the past that when I’ve got one, I can go on to get a few. ”

A defensive midfielder by trade, Hope Akpan found the net eight times while on the books of Crawley Town but managed only one goal in the two and a half years he spent at Reading.
