Darragh Lenihan, Ryan Nyambe pen new Blackburn Rovers deals

Blackburn Rovers announce that youngsters Darragh Lenihan and Ryan Nyambe have both signed new contracts with the club.

Championship side Blackburn Rovers have handed new contracts to Darragh Lenihan and Ryan Nyambe.

Lenihan, 21, has put pen to paper on a new one-year extension, while 17-year-old Nyambe has signed his first professional deal with a three-year contract.

Lenihan made his senior debut in the final weeks of last season after spending time with Burton Albion in League Two, but Nyambe is yet to appear for the first team.

"It's a massive season for me," Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Lenihan told the club website. "For playing games and to make the break into the first team, I think this is the main season for me.

"I just need to work hard in pre-season and see where it takes me. If I do well in training, then hopefully the manager will pick me.

"This is my fifth season and I feel ready to make myself an established player here."

The Lancashire club also confirmed today that captain Grant Hanley had returned to pre-season fully fit after missing the final 15 games of last season with a calf injury.
