    Rovers seal Samba swoop

    26 Jan 2007 - 07:57:28

    Blackburn Rovers have wrapped up the signing of Hertha Berlin defender Christopher Samba on a contract running until the summer of 2010.

    The 22-year-old DR Congo international has impressed while on trial at Ewood Park and is looking forward to the new challenge.

    He told the club's official website: "It was a good experience in Germany, I think of all the leagues it is the one that is most similar to the English league.

    "It is a very strong league, but in England it is more intense and stronger."

    Rovers boss Mark Hughes was also pleased that the deal had been finalised, adding: "Obviously we always try to bring players into the club and look at them first-hand.

    "I think you get a better idea of what they are about and he impressed us.

    "He's a big guy to say the least, he is upwards of 6ft 5ins and a big powerful guy. We think he is a good addition to the squad."
