The Lancashire club beat a host of other sides to secure the services of the highly rated Dutch under 21 star who signed a four-year deal from NAC Breda for an undisclosed fee in July 2007.
The young striker hit the headlines in the 2007 European under 21 championships, winning the Golden Boot as the tournament's top scorer with four goals from his five games.
That saw him earn a move to Ewood Park, but his first season at the club has been one of frustration. Unable to force his way into the first team, Maceo eventually moved on loan to Norwich towards the end of the campaign, but that was cut short due to a hamstring injury.
The former Dutch under 21 star will be hoping for more fortune in the 2008/09 season.
