Six-figure offer rejected: Why Leeds must battle rivals to solve problem area with 31-year-old – view

Championship form last season

Left-footed star Mulgrew was a rare shining light in Blackburn’s side last season as the club were relegated to the third tier of English football.

Offering a leadership at the back and even finding the back of the net three times when going forward, Mulgrew was key to everything Blackburn tried to do in escaping the drop.

The defender is far too good for League One football and a move back up the English football pyramid seems to be just a matter of time.
