Plenty of other options were presented to Rovers this week as clubs looked to secure loan moves for their promising players, and it was among this group from which Moore set his sights on the winger, who will add a further element to the attacking ranks.
Barring the early business which should come on Friday morning, it is expected to be a relatively quiet deadline day as the 5pm deadline approaches.
