Nelsen Signs New Four-Year Contract

Fans favourite Ryan Nelsen has finally ended speculation surrounding his future by signing a new long-term deal.

The impact Nelsen has made not only at Ewood Park, but also on the Premiership since his arrival on a free transfer from American Major League’s DC United has been immense. The 28-year-old New Zealand International’s form has been such that he has been subject to three bids from Portsmouth this summer, the last of which a reported £5 million offer.

Rovers can now look forward to the continued services of Nelsen for another four years at least.
