RYAN Nelsen is ready to end his English career with Blackburn Rovers after insisting he will give his all for the club until it proves impossible to continue at Ewood.

Rovers’ club skipper pledged his immediate future to the club late last month after signing a one-year contract extension to keep him in East Lancashire until the summer of 2013 - and he fully intends on honouring his new deal in full.

The 33-year-old arrived at Rovers on a free transfer from American side DC United in 2005 and has since made more than 200 appearances in a one-club Premier League career.

He continues to be a regular in the heart of the defence, even being one of the club’s most consistent performers in recent weeks, and admits he can’t see himself ever playing elsewhere in this country.

He said: “I want to see out my contract here. The club has been extremely good to me. I love the fans and the atmosphere here.

“My philosophy is I will give everything and put everything in until I can’t.

"Until my body packs in or I am told I am not good enough to be around.

“Whether that be next week, it could be next week, or whether it is two years I will just keep doing that.

"I can’t see myself going anywhere else, not in England now to tell you the truth.

“I don’t think I could feel comfortable playing for another club now, having put so much time and effort into Blackburn. It just wouldn’t sit right.”

Rovers travel to Aston Villa on Saturday without a win in their last four games having started life under new boss Steve Kean so impressively.

Kean’s Ewood Park reign has brought a dramatic change of style to the Sam Allardyce era and Nelsen admits it was always going to take time to adapt to their new attacking philosophy.

“It is the brutality of football. You don’t get what you deserve,” he told Rovers Player.

”At least we are heading in the right direction. If we can iron the small things out hopefully the wins will follow.

“It is not easy when you are changing a style of play and making adjustments, it doesn’t happen over night.

"We might have to go through some bad times to get to the good times.

“We are very confident results can be turned around.

“I think the fans will appreciate the style of football Steve Kean is trying to play and the players are trying to portray.

“In the end the fans like to win and so do we. Unfortunately style doesn’t get you any points, so hopefully we can turn it into points.”
