Blackburn Rovers have confirmed the signing of Brazilian full back Bruno Ribeiro, who signs a three-year deal with the club, signing on a free transfer.
The defender has spent part of pre-season with the club on a trial basis and has done enough to convince new manager Steve Kean that he should be part of his plans for the forthcoming season.
Ribeiro pulled on the blue and white shirt over the pre-season, starring in the clubs victories over Accrington Stanley and Kilmarnock and also linked up with the squad at their pre-season training camp in Austria.
This gave manager Kean the chance to cast an eye over his new signing and allowed for the Brazilian to get to know his new team mates.
The 28-year-old Ribeiro joins from Brazilian club Gremio Barueri and the transfer offers him the chance to move away from his homeland and try to establish himself in the English Premier League.
Manager Steve Kean has been relatively busy in the transfer of late, with the most notable signing being striker David Goodwillie from Dundee United, who will be expected to provide the goals for the Lancashire outfit.
