Doncaster Rovers v Milton Keynes Dons - Coaching style of Darren Moore makes Keepmoat an attractive destination

Working with Doncaster Rovers manager Darren Moore provides one of the best educations that any developing player can receive.

Rovers centre-back Cameron John – who recently joined the club permanently after his successful loan spell last season – should know and is well qualified to speak about Moore’s prowess and man-management.

As Doncaster’s new signing Rayhaan Tulloch will no doubt also attest after leaving Moore’s former club West Brom and joining the League One club on loan for the 2020-21 season.

Rovers beat off interest from League One rivals Fleetwood and Swindon to sign the 19-year-old, rated as a potential star in the making in Albion circles.

Moore nurtured many young talents during his time at The Hawthorns and neither did he miss much in his grasp of the Midlands football scene and those development players coming through.

John was among that number, albeit at the Baggies’ Black Country rivals Wolves and he was only too happy to link up again with Moore when the chance arose.

John, 21, who has signed a two-year deal, said: “The gaffer was one of the main reasons I did decide to come back – just with the way he was with me last year and the way he coaches.

“He gets the best out of you and having someone who has played in my position throughout his own career means he can help me with those little pointers and then help me improve a a player every day.

“It is something I look forward to every single day and it is great to be back working with him.

“His man-management is also great and he keeps the dressing room happy and keeps you believing and wanting to improve.

“That is what you want. You might have a bad day in training, but he will keep you motivated and that is what you want in a coach and manager.

“He brings the best out of everyone in training and drives us every day.”
