GARY Bowyer has this afternoon issued a statement reiterating his commitment to Blackburn Rovers.

Bowyer has been linked with the vacancy at Leeds United but the Rovers boss said: “I recently met with the owners in India and those discussions were both positive and constructive.

"I am fully committed to building on the foundations we have put in place over the past 12 months.

"There is a strong sense of unity with all concerned at Blackburn Rovers and I look forward to that continuing as we plan for next season."
