Rising star Lewis Travis is the latest Rovers player to commit his long-term future to the club.
Following similar good news regarding goalkeeper David Raya and striker Joe Nuttall in recent weeks, Travis has also put pen-to-paper on a three-and-a-half-year deal, keeping him at Ewood Park until June 2021.
The versatile midfielder, who can operate in the centre of the park, as well as at full-back and further forward down the right flank, joined the club from Liverpool in December 2014.
After making the successful step up from Academy football to Damien Johnson's Under-23s, Travis was promoted to the senior squad for three first team fixtures last season.
The talented youngster signed a new one-year deal to remain at Rovers in the summer and from then his performances have gone from strength to strength.
Travis has starred for the Under-23s this term, producing a series of consistent and eye-catching displays, collecting countless assists and playing a key role in Rovers' rise to the top of the Premier League 2 table.
He was duly rewarded with his senior Rovers debut in the Checkatrade Trophy victory over Stoke City back in August and has gone on to make six further first team appearances, twice appearing in the league - in the 3-1 victories over Shrewsbury Town and Walsall at Ewood Park last month.
A delighted Travis told iFollow Rovers: “It’s always good to commit your future to a club you really want to play for. It’s what I’ve been working for. I’ve wanted a new deal and I’m delighted it’s come.
Congratulations, Lewis.
