Corry Evans has signed a new two-and-a-half year deal at Blackburn Rovers.

Evans becomes the latest player to commit his future to the club with his previous deal expiring next summer.

The Northern Ireland is now under contract until the summer of 2021.

The 28-year-old is the club’s longest serving senior player having first signed from Hull City in 2013.

He has since played 168 times for Rovers, becoming a firm fixture in the team under Tony Mowbray.
