Brad Lyons offered new contract at Blackburn Rovers

Former Coleraine star Brad Lyons has been offered a new contract at Blackburn Rovers. 

Lyons arrived at Ewood Park in August 2018 after an impressive campaign with the Bannsiders as he helped them finish second in the Dankse Bank Premiership and win the Irish Cup after a 3-1 victory against Cliftonville. 

He then joined former boss Oran Kearney at St Mirren on loan as the Buddies completed a remarkable escape to stay in the Scottish Premiership. 

Lyons scored three goals in his first 13 appearances for the club including a brace against Arsenal under 23s. 

This season he made 11 appearances in the Premier League 2 and scored twice as well as claiming two assists.

Lyons tweeted: "Big year and season ahead."

Blackburn sit eighth in the Championship table just one point behind Lancashire rivals Preston North End who occupy the final playoff spot.

They returned to action with a 3-1 victory over Bristol City at Ewood Park last Saturday with Corry Evans scoring the equaliser before picking up the the man of the match award as he returned from a serious head injury.
