ROVERS SKIPPER CHARLIE BIDS TO PUSH ON
CHARLIE Mulgrew insists there is no place he would rather be after committing his future to Blackburn Rovers.
The captain, who arrived at Ewood Park in 2016, has signed a new two-and-a-half year deal at Rovers.
The Scotland international helped Blackburn win promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt last season, scoring 14 goals in the process.
Now the former Wolves, Aberdeen and Celtic defender wants to keep progressing and see how far the club can go.
“It was pretty straightforward as Rovers is a club I want to be at,” said the 32-year-old.
“I’ve loved every minute of being here, it’s a great club to be at and a club that’s doing well.
“It feels like a club heading in the right direction. Since the manager (Tony Mowbray) has come in, we have been moving well and the plans for the future are great. I’ll be doing all I can to help move the club forward.
“It’s been a bit of a roller-coaster, but ever since I walked through the door it’s been a club that I’ve wanted to fight for. After going down, I was desperate to help bring the club back.
“Now we want to push on. We have a great changing room, a great manager and great staff. It’s the perfect place to be, so I’m delighted to stay.”
Rovers manager Tony Mowbray added: “It’s an important deal for the team and the club.
“He sets the standards of punctuality, driving the club from the dressing room and making sure everyone is on time for meetings, that’s Charlie for you.
“He deserves the reward of an extended contract.”
