Kean, who helped nurture Jones before he joined Manchester United in a multi-million pound deal last summer, says the young defender is one of the most talented players he has ever worked with.

The Rovers boss also outlined his managerial heroes, with the legendary trio of Jock Stein, Bill Shankly and Sir Alex Ferguson all singled out for praise.
