12 August 2011 13:30

Blackburn have announced the signing of Brazilian full-back Bruno Ribeiro.

The defender joins Rovers on a free transfer, signing a three-year deal with the option of a further 12 months following a trial with Steve Kean's Lancashire side.

Bruno, 28, has been working with Rovers for much of the summer and travelled to the club's pre-season camp in Austria as well as playing in pre-season games.

Blackburn have confirmed he could be in the squad to face Wolves in Saturday's Barclays Premier League opener.
