O'Kelly hails 'exceptional' Heffernan

Doncaster assistant manager Richard O'Kelly has praised the recent performances of Paul Heffernan as his goal helped Doncaster record their third successive league victory.

For the second time in a week Heffernan scored Doncaster's only goal as they recorded a 1-0 victory, this time at home to Bristol City.

Speaking of Heffernan, O'Kelly said: "He is on form at moment. His whole game, and not just his goals in the last couple of games, has come on leaps and bounds."

"His movement, his timing of his runs, his general hold up play and linking with other players has been exceptional."

Ahead of a tough trip to Swansea, O'Kelly added: "We are looking to win the next game, looking to get back on the training pitch, go down to Swansea and put another good performance in."
