Blackburn star Robbie Savage has agreed a one-year extension to
his contract at Ewood Park.
Rovers boss Mark Hughes revealed after Saturday's win over
Middlesbrough that the former Leicester man had agreed to extend
his stay at the club.
Savage has established himself as a key member of Hughes' side
since arriving from Birmingham in January 2005.
Savage is expected to put pen-to-paper on the contract next week
which will keep him at Ewood Park until the summer of 2009 and
Hughes was delighted to keep the all-action midfielder at the
Lancashire outfit.
"Robbie deserved the extension because he has been playing arguably
the best football since he has been at the club and he is a big
influence both on the field and off it," said Hughes.
