Victory for Doncaster Rovers has placed them 19th in League Two, four points above the relegation zone and eight points off the play-off places. However, the 4-1 victory will provide a significant morale boost to both Westbrooke and his teammates.
Speaking during an interview with the Doncaster Free Press, the midfielder stated…
“It’s something that’s been playing on my mind because I want to chip in and help the lads, and personally I want to score goals.
“I’m glad I have got the first one out of the way. I always wanted to get more than that. Ten was always my aim then it fell away, I was getting less and playing less and had a couple of years of not playing much.
“It’s always something I have wanted to be, a goalscoring midfielder. Hopefully I can push on now.”
