Monday, June 26, 2006

Blackburn Rovers FC have signed Wales goalkeeper Jason Brown on a four-year contract to cap a "whirlwind" month for the 24-year-old.

Blackburn Rovers FC have signed Wales goalkeeper Jason Brown on a four-year contract to cap a "whirlwind" month for the 24-year-old.

Dream move
Brown only made his international debut on 27 May in the 2-1 friendly defeat of FIFA World Cup finalists Trinidad and Tobago. He has now earned a dream move to the Premiership and the prospect of UEFA Cup football by agreeing a free transfer move from Gillingham FC, who play in the third tier of the English game. "It shows anything can happen in football, it's been a whirlwind," Brown said. "It hasn't sunk in but I can't wait to start."
