Trusted reporter provides fresh update on Blackburn Rovers’ bid to secure forward’s future

Blackburn Rovers have moved a step closer to agreeing a new deal with Tyrhys Dolan after the process was slowed by a change of representative, as per the Lancashire Telegraph’s Rich Sharpe.

Blackburn Rovers recruited Dolan three years ago, bringing him in at just 18 after his departure from Preston North End’s academy. The forward quickly became a first-team regular at Ewood Park and at just 21, he’s racked up 124 appearances for Rovers.

Along the way, Dolan has chipped in with 14 goals and 13 assists across all competitions.

As it stands, his deal is up at the end of next season, though a 12-month extension option is included. Talks over a new contract have been well documented and now, trusted reporter Sharpe has provided a fresh update for the Lancashire Telegraph.

It is said that talks are ongoing and there is still work to do before an agreement, though the parties have moved closer to said deal. Dolan made a switch in representatives, slowing the process, but discussions have been resumed.
