Blackburn Rovers

Jake Garrett

A defensive midfielder shaped by Blackburn's own academy, breaking up opposition attacks before they reach the back four. He keeps his passing simple and effective rather than forcing a risky ball forward, his importance showing more in what does not happen.

Jake Garrett, The Academy Midfielder Finding His Level

A former Blackburn Young Player of the Year still searching for a settled role after two testing loan spells.

Garrett joined Blackburn's academy as a young boy and worked his way through every age group, earning the club's Young Player of the Year award as recognition for how far he had progressed by his early twenties. He plays the unglamorous defensive midfield role well, screening the back four and giving the players in front of him room to attack freely. He rarely tries to chase the game himself, trusting the players around him instead.

Loan spells at Bristol Rovers and Tranmere Rovers were meant to sharpen him further as a defensive midfielder. He struggled for regular game time at the higher of the two levels before dropping down for more consistent football. The question now is whether those loans have prepared him to break into Blackburn's midfield permanently, or whether he needs one more testing spell away first.

Match Bingo Game Modes Explained

There are three game types on Match Bingo and they behave less alike than they sound. Live Games follow a real fixture as it's played. Bingoals swaps the fifteen events for fifteen teams and needs every one of them to score. Quick Games run every few minutes on football from last season, so there's nothing to wait for.

Does a New Signing Change Anything on Your Match Bingo Card?

Deadline day comes and goes and your card stays exactly as it was. Match Bingo cards are built from things that happen in a match, goals and corners and fouls, rather than from the players who make them happen. No name on a teamsheet reaches a single square. Here's what a signing does change, and what it doesn't.

Is Match Bingo Safe? Licensing, Fair Play and Player Protection

Two things usually sit behind that question: whether the company is real and regulated, and whether the game itself can be got at by somebody sharper than you. Match Bingo is operated by RTSB Limited under Gambling Commission account 51467, which takes about a minute to check. The second answer is duller: there's nothing to press.

What Is Football Bingo?

A card holds fifteen things that can happen in a football match, and each square marks itself the moment its event happens in the fixture you've chosen. You buy before kick-off, then you go and watch the game. Complete a horizontal row of five before anybody else and you take the fixed prize for that tier.
