Blackburn Rovers midfielder Robbie Savage believes he is currently playing his best football since he moved to Ewood Park 20 months ago.

The former Wales international took time to find his feet at Rovers following his contentious move from Birmingham City in January 2005, but played a key role in the club's sixth place finish last season.

Rovers did not enjoy a productive start to the new term, but some trademark all-action displays from Savage helped them to kick-start their campaign with back-to-back victories against Manchester City and Middlesbrough.

The 31-year-old told the Daily Express: "I'm probably playing my best football since I've been at Blackburn.

"That's because I'm doing a lot of gym work which I've never done before.

"I covered a lot of ground against Boro and for the second away game in a row had to change my strip because it got bloodied.

"I don't mind. I give it out so I've got to take a few cuts here and there."
