Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of Australian international Vince Grella.

As revealed by skysports.com last month Paul Ince had made Grella one of his top targets of the summer

Grella was in talks about a move to Ewood Park on Tuesday and now the 28-year-old has completed the switch, signing a four-year deal.

Grella has arrived from Torino in a deal reportedly worth around £4million.

Grella ends a 10-year stint playing in Italy having first arrived in Serie A in 1998 when he joined Empoli.

He joined Parma in 2004 and Torino in 2007, but he has now sealed his move to the Premier League where he will link-up with Australian international team-mate Brett Emerton.
