Blackburn Rovers signed Danny Graham from Sunderland back in 2016.
Blackburn Rovers striker Danny Graham says he is enjoying his football again and does not plan on moving to any more clubs following an unhappy spell at Sunderland, the Lancashire Telegraph reports.
“I’m 33 now, I know I’m not going to be around forever. I don’t see myself moving to another club. If there was a chance I don’t think I would take it,” Graham explained.
“More importantly for me, after my time with Sunderland, I’m enjoying my football again and I want that to continue. I don’t see the need to move on or leave any time soon.”
Graham joined Blackburn on a permanent deal from Sunderland in 2016 having initially moved to Ewood Park on loan.
Blackburn was the striker’s fourth loan spell while a Sunderland player, as he struggled to make an impact at the Stadium of Light following his £5.5 million move from Swansea City back in 2013.
Graham is originally from the North East and came through the Middlesbrough youth ranks.
Moving to Sunderland in his prime should have been a real highlight in his career, despite being a Newcastle United fan.
But he managed just one Premier League goal for the Black Cats, and he has since rediscovered his best playing days under Tony Mowbray at Ewood Park in what should be described as his twilight years.
Graham’s success this season – 13 goals in 30 Championship starts – has helped trigger a 12-month extension to his contract whereby at the end of his new deal at Ewood Park he will be turning 35.
The striker has forged a decent understanding with fellow Blackburn attacker Bradley Dack, who currently tops Rovers’ scoring charts with 15 goals in all competitions this season.
