Doncaster Rovers manager Paul Dickov spoke to the club’s official website regarding Richie Wellens signing a new contract.
“I’m delighted that Richie has signed a new contract and will remain at the club. There were a number of clubs quoted as being interested in him such as QPR, but we were always confident that he wanted to stay and would sign a new deal.“My thanks must go to the owners for their support and backing throughout this process.
"I believe Richie is a key player in this team, and by sanctioning this deal, the owners have shown clear intent that they want us to stay in the Championship and compete.”
