Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of Northampton goalkeeper Mark Bunn for an undisclosed fee.

Rovers boss Paul Ince has been keen to add goalkeeping back-up for current No.1 Paul Robinson before the transfer deadline.

Ince recently had a bid rejected for Bolton's Ali Al-Habsi, but he has now captured Bunn after the 23-year-old passed a medical.

Bunn told Blackburn's official website: "I am absolutely delighted to be here. It is a dream come true.

"It was hard to leave Northampton but I was not going to turn this chance down, I'm just pleased to be here."

Nottingham Forest and Derby were also linked with Bunn, but the lure of Premier League football proved a decisive factor.
