Brett Emerton has pledged his future to Blackburn and put pen to paper on a new four-year contract.

The deal is set to keep the 29-year-old Australian at Ewood Park until 2012.

Chairman John Williams told the club's official website: "This is great news for the club. He's a very willing member of the squad and a real club man.

"Brett has been an excellent servant over the last five years and we are delighted to have agreed a deal that keeps him here for another four years."
