And his performances during November, in which he scored one goal in four wins, have not gone unnoticed after he was nominated for the Player of the Month award.
Houghton tweeted: "Delighted to be nominated for EFL Sky Bet League Two player of the month! It's been a great month for the club, long may it continue!"
His contract at Stamford Bridge expires at the end of the season and recently admitted he would be open to joining Doncaster permanently in the summer.

Jordan Houghton has admitted he could leave Chelsea permanently in the summer
"I'd be open to many options but [signing for Doncaster permanently] would definitely be one," Houghton told the Doncaster Free Press.
"I've really enjoyed my time here. I think the main thing is finding a manager that trusts you and I think that is what the manager does here, he trusts me.
"In the long run it would definitely be an option if things don't work out at Chelsea, it would be an option to stay here."
