Young goalkeeper Solomon Honor has joined Manchester United's ranks after impressing at Rovers.
Honor headed to East Lancashire in 2021 following a spell in Manchester City's Academy set-up.
The shot stopper climbed the youth ranks at Rovers, impressing for the Under-18s before moving up to the Under-21s.
He was on the bench earlier this season for an impressive 4-0 victory against United in Leigh.
Honor also had loans at Clitheroe and Atherton Collieries to gain valuable experience of men's football in the non-league pyramid.

His representatives, Harwick Sports, confirmed the move on their social media channels with the message: "Congrats to @SolHonor1 on his move to @ManUtd. Big opportunity - all the best with the next step Sol."
Honor's brother, Zico, is also on United's books.
The goalkeeper will now be competing with the likes of Elyh Harrison, William Murdock and Dermot Mee. Murdock has been a regular starter this season, while Harrison recently returned from a loan at Shrewsbury in League Two.
Nick Michalski has been the main keeper for Rovers' Under-21 side this season and made his senior debut against Bradford in the Carabao Cup in August.
