Blackburn defender McLoughlin signs new contract

The 29-year-old centre-back has committed his future to Blackburn after joining from Hull City in July.

Blackburn Rovers centre-back Sean McLoughlin has signed a new contract with the Championship club, extending his stay at Ewood Park. The 29-year-old has been a regular starter this season, playing every minute of Rovers' league campaign and scoring his first goal in the opening-day 2-2 draw at Wolves.

McLoughlin joined Blackburn from Hull City for an undisclosed fee in July 2025 and has made 62 appearances in all competitions.

"I've had a great time since I've been here, so to be able to sign a new contract and stay for the next few years is brilliant, I'm delighted," McLoughlin said. "It's been a really easy group to come in and settle into, I've made a lot of great friends already. The staff go above and beyond for you." Blackburn have not disclosed the length of the new agreement.
