Helping Blackburn defensively was rising star Adam Henley, a 17-year-old defender who according to Yahoo! Sports.com was born in Knoxville. [...]Why isn't he playing for the USMNT?
Henley, who according to the team's website signed a 2½-year professional contract with Blackburn on Friday, was making his third Premier League start. He made his Premier League debut as a second-half substitute in November.
"Adam has shown great ability and maturity to emerge as a key member of the senior squad, particularly in recent weeks," Blackburn manager Steve Kean said Friday. "We are delighted that he has signed professional terms with us and believe he can go on to have a very bright future."
A regular youth international with Wales, Henley was part of the Rovers squad for the summer Asia Trophy in Hong Kong.
