Blackburn are confident that playmaker David Dunn will extend his stay at Ewood Park beyond the summer.

Positive talks about contract extension

Blackburn are confident that playmaker David Dunn will extend his stay at Ewood Park. The 30-year-old's contract expires in the summer and talks are ongoing about keeping the midfielder at the club. Rovers chairman John Williams believes a deal will be done as both sides want to prolong Dunn's stay. He told the Lancashire Telegraph: "It has all been very positive. "Both parties want the deal to happen and negotiations are still ongoing." Dunn began his career with Rovers before leaving for Birmingham in a £5.5million switch in July 2003. He then returned for £2.2 million in January 2007 and has become a vital part in the club's top flight stay. Although he has endured an injury-hit season, he has still waded in with five goals in 12 Premier League starts this campaign.
