Brett Emerton has blasted claims suggesting he is leaving Blackburn Rovers.

While there has been speculation about his future, Emerton has publicly committed himself to the club.

He told the Lancashire Telegraph: “I'm sick of speaking about it. It was only speculation.

"It was a rumour started in the media, and it snowballed.

“I was disappointed by it and I let the journalist who started it know how I felt.

"I would love for the speculation to be put to rest. I have two years left on my contract and I intend to finish there.”
