Blackburn defender Ryan Nelsen has signed a new deal with the club, keeping him at Ewood Park until the summer of 2013.

The 33-year-old New Zealand international was contracted to Rovers until next year, but has now penned a new one-year extension.

Nelsen joined Blackburn from DC United in 2005 and has been a first-team regular throughout his stay, making in excess of 200 appearances for the club.
