Paul Heckingbottom has backed Gethin Jones to fill the void left by James Bree.
The Everton loanee, 21, made his debut against Leeds United last weekend at left-back but is expected to play right-back against Rotherham United on Saturday following Bree's move to Aston Villa.
Heckingbottom praised the defender's debut. He said: "I thought he did excellent and we were really, really pleased with him
"We brought him in predominantly as a right back but we know that he has got thar cover.
"You think someone can deal with something and I think he showed that he can and there is a lot more to come from him."
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
