Salgado commits to Blackburn

Blackburn full-back Michel Salgado has agreed a contract extension until the end of next season.

The former Real Madrid and Spain defender, 35, is a firm favourite at Ewood Park since arriving in August 2009 and joins Ryan Nelsen in agreeing a new deal.

"To keep Michel here is great news, his experience is invaluable and his enthusiasm infectious," Rovers boss Steve Kean told his club's website.

"He's a winner and you can never have too many of those."
