Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean has insisted that the club will bounce back after their relegation from the Premier League.

Kean also admitted that he faces a fight to keep hold of Junior Hoilett, whose contract expires in the summer.

"We are looking forward. The players that are under contract will be easy to keep. We will make a good fist of trying to keep those who are out of contract like Junior Hoilett and will see where that goes. There will be a lot of interest in him," Kean told reporters.

"We are in a club in transition. We will sit down and assess where we could have done better and then it's about assembling a squad that is as good as possible for next season. We will have to bounce back quickly and I am convinced we can do it."

Blackburn finished in 19th spot in the Premier League.
