- Rovers starlets pen new deals
Blackburn Rovers duo Matt Derbyshire and Paul Gallagher have signed new contracts that will keep them at Ewood Park until the end of the 2009-10 campaign.
Both youngsters have come through the club's Academy system and have become important squad players during the current season.
Derbyshire, who scored in Saturday's victory at Manchester City, has made three starts and nine substitute appearances for Mark Hughes' side.
The 20-year-old has also enjoyed loan spells with Plymouth Argyle and Wrexham.
Gallagher has scored eight goals in 65 appearances for Rovers and the 22-year-old also spent a successful season on loan with Stoke City, scoring 12 goals for the Potters last term.
