Nicolas Michalski has been rewarded for his rapid rise at Blackburn by signing a new long-term contract with the Ewood Park club.

Michalski, 18, has penned a four-year agreement with the option of a further 12 months.

He was won three England Under-18 caps and was part of boss Valerien Ismael's senior squad during their pre-season training camp in Spain.
