Stephen Warnock has played down speculation linking him with a move away from Blackburn saying he is happy at the club.

Rovers turned down a £2million bid, believed to be from Newcastle, for the full-back last week as they look to keep hold of the former Liverpool man.

Warnock has indicated he has no plans to leave Ewood Park as he believes the future looks bright for Rovers.

Plans

"We are a club that is moving forward and we are all looking forward to the new era under the new manager," Warnock told the club's official website.

"Last season, even though we finished seventh, it was still a bit of a disappointment to the lads as we feel that we can finish higher than that.

"So anything lower than seventh position again will be a disappointing season for us."
