CRAIG Conway has signed a new contract with Blackburn Rovers.

The winger has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year deal tying him to the club until the summer of 2018.

Conway, speaking to Rovers Player HD, said: “I’m absolutely delighted. It seems like forever that we’ve been speaking about it, but I’m just delighted to sign and to stay here for another two-and-a-half years.

“I’ve really enjoyed the time that I’ve been here and the minute that we spoke about a new contract I was really keen to get it done.

“With the change of manager, there was obviously a slight delay on it, but luckily for me the new manager was happy for it to go ahead.

“My family is settled here and everything is going well. From the day I signed, it just felt right and luckily on the pitch it’s gone really well for me.

“I’ve grown in confidence and I feel as though I’ve improved as well and the team-mates that I’ve played with as well have obviously helped that.”

Fans’ favourite Conway, 30, has scored 10 goals and contributed 29 assists in 80 appearances since his £100,000 move from Cardiff City in January 2014.
