Ahead of today's clash with Villa, McKenna said: "I think Morgan Rogers was a fantastic signing.
"We were there or thereabouts to bringing him here a couple of times earlier in his career.
"He's a player I've known for a number of years and the signing by Villa and how they've improved him and the impact he's having at Premier League level is, apart from this weekend, great to see from a young player."
