Young defender commits to Ewood Park club

Blackburn Rovers defender Tony Kane has signed a new contract with the club until summer 2009. The 20-year-old has risen through the academy ranks at Ewood Park to make it into Mark Hughes' first team squad, but has yet to make his senior debut. Last season Kane had a successful loan spell at partner club Cercle Brugge and has previously been on loan at Stockport County. Belfast-born Kane has represented both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland up to U21 level and last year featured in Nigel Worthington's senior Northern Ireland squad.
