Defender determined to fulfil contract at Ewood Park

Blackburn Rovers captain Ryan Nelsen is expecting to finish his top-level playing career at Ewood Park. Nelsen signed a contract extension with Rovers last month which is scheduled to keep the New Zealand defender at the club until 2013. The 33-year-old has also recently passed the 200 appearance mark for Blackburn and does not envisage playing for another club. He said: "I want to see out my contract here. The club has been extremely good to me. I love the fans and the atmosphere here. "My philosophy is I will give everything and put everything in until I can't. Until my body packs in or I am told I am not good enough to be around. "Whether that be next week, it could be next week, or whether it is two years I will just keep doing that. I can't see myself going anywhere else, not in England now to tell you the truth. "I don't think I could feel comfortable playing for another club now, having put so much time and effort into Blackburn. It just wouldn't sit right."
