Adam Forshaw has re-joined Rovers after putting pen to paper over a new one-year deal at Ewood Park.

Forshaw headed to Lancashire in January on an initial short-term deal, playing 17 times during the second half of the campaign and getting on the scoresheet against former club Plymouth.

Rovers announced in the retained list last month they would keep in “close contact” with the experienced midfielder but he was entitled to “explore other options”.

Forshaw has now signed up for the 2025/26 campaign and becomes the club’s second addition of the summer after Dion De Neve’s arrival from Kortrijk.

At the back end of last season, Valerien Ismael told The Lancashire Telegraph: "Forsh is a perfect professional, great attitude, great human being.

"In a tough period, he was always in front to be positive in a changing room. He has experience, he's got that energy. You saw how he came in against Sunderland, he was like a lion in every ball.

"He's an example for the young players to learn. Someone like that is good to have around to support, he accepts his role. We are very pleased to have him.”

Forshaw posted on social media: Delighted to re-sign for another year after coming so close last season. Looking forward to a good pre-season and a strong push in the league."
