Doncaster Rovers pair could have played their last game for the club after loan deals announced
Zain Westbrooke and Kyle Hurst could well have played their final matches for Doncaster Rovers, after both were sent out on loan for the remainder of the season.
Both have joined National League side Scunthorpe United. Westbrooke had already been in situ at Glanford Park but that agreement has now been extended up until the end of the campaign. The midfielder has made 13 appearances to date for the Iron.
As for Hurst, he's now embarking on his third loan spell away from Rovers in less than a year. He was sent out to Scottish side Queen's Park at the start of 2025 and then spent the first half of this season at Gateshead. After that stint ended recently, he's now made the short move across to Lincolnshire.
Crucially, both players are out of contract at the end of the season - with no options existing in either of their current deals.
Westbrooke, 29, has made 53 appearances for Rovers since arriving in DN4 in March 2023. As for 23-year-old Hurst, who joined in July 2022, he's posted 108 appearances but hasn't featured competitively for Rovers since January 2025. Westbrooke's last involvement was a cameo off the bench on the final day of last season.
News is expected shortly on Joe Sbarra and Will Flint's immediate futures with the expectation being that they too will also be loaned out for the remainder of the season, although the identity of their clubs in the second half of the campaign remains unclear.
