Blackburn starlet Junior Hoilett has ended speculation over his future by agreeing a new deal at Ewood Park.


The 19-year-old forward, whose previous deal was due to expire in the summer, has agreed a new two-and-a-half-year contract to keep him at Rovers until 2012.

Sam Allardyce will be delighted with the news after seeing the youngster develop into a key member of his first-team squad - handing Hoilett 16 Premier League appearances this term.

The manager had recently spoken of his fear that the Canadian-born teenager would leave Ewood Park and turn up playing for another Premier League outfit next season.
