Harvey is one of the Conference's most experienced managers

Harvey signed the new deal at an open evening, in front of 300 supporters.

The 48-year-old was appointed Rovers boss in September 2006, succeeding Gary Owers, who paid the price for a poor start to the season.

Harvey had previously spent 12 years in charge at Morecambe, and suffered a heart attack while in charge of the Shrimps in 2005.
