Blackburn teenager Adam Wharton has signed a new five-year deal at Ewood Park.

The highly rated 18-year-old made his senior debut for Rovers in a 4-0 Carabao Cup win over Hartlepool last month.

“I’m over the moon,” the midfielder told RoversTV.

“I’m delighted to commit my future to the club. I’ve been here a long time, so to get a deal to secure myself at the club for a number of years is a great feeling.”
