Blackburn utility man Brett Emerton has signed a new four-year contract.
The deal is set to keep the 29-year-old Australian, signed from Feyenoord in 2003, at Ewood Park until 2012.
Chairman John Williams told the club's website: "This is great news for the club. He's a very willing member of the squad and a real club man.
"Brett has been an excellent servant over the last five years and we are delighted to have agreed a deal that keeps him here for another four years."
Emerton began his Blackburn career on the right side of midfield but has demonstrated his versatility by playing in a number of other positions.
He has also operated at right-back and centre midfield, making more than 200 appearances for Rovers since joining the club in a �2.2m deal.
Emerton has also won 66 caps for Australia, making his international debut in February 1998 and scoring 14 goals.
