Blackburn Rovers have taken Dover Athletic forward Archie Hatcher on a two-week trial.
The National League South club have confirmed their academy graduate has been invited to Brockhall for the next fortnight. The teenager has made a handful of first-team appearances having signed his first professional deal last September.
Hatcher will join up with Mike Sheron's Under-21s for the next two weeks and could feature in their Premier League 2 play-off match against West Ham United.

It's understood that Hatcher was not the trialist who was named as a substitute for Rovers against Sunderland on Sunday but he has now joined the group.
Hatcher is a forward and has netted three goals in 12 appearances for the club this campaign. It's been a difficult campaign for Dover, who finished rock-bottom of the division and have been relegated out of the division.
Dover Academy Boss Mike Sandmann said: “We would like to wish Archie good luck as he starts his two-week trial with Blackburn.
"It goes to show the strength of our young players that are coming through that professional clubs are taking notice, as a club we are proud to be giving them the opportunity."
