The 28-year-old midfielder, who joined Rovers a year ago from MK Dons, was the subject of interest from Premier League rivals Fulham earlier this summer but has now signed a new four-year contract. Republic of Ireland sit in second spot in Group Eight in World Cup qualifying, with three fixtures in the next few months deciding their South African fate. He told The Citizen: "We will know whether we have qualified automatically, or whether we need the play-offs by October. It is exciting times and fingers crossed we can do it. "I always look at the short-term future. To play in a World Cup would be a dream come true. To cement my place on the international stage is one thing but to crack on and qualify for a World Cup it would go down in history."
