Blackburn have completed the signing of Keith Andrews from Milton Keynes Dons.

The 27-year-old has inked a three-year deal at Ewood Park after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.

Andrews has been a target of Rovers boss Paul Ince all summer with the pair having enjoyed success together at MK Dons.

The Irishman is expected to go straight into the squad for this weekend's game with West Ham and Andrews is relishing the chance of playing in the top flight.

Opportunity

"I'm absolutely delighted to be here, as everyone knows it has been drawn out for a few weeks between the clubs agreeing the fee and what have you, but obviously I'm delighted to be here and to finally get it sorted, I can't wait to crack on now," Andrews told the club's official website.

"Blackburn being a massive club and a Premier League club was a chance that I couldn't really let go. I did everything in my power to get here, I was pleading with the chairman at MK Dons to get the deal done, and the chance to work with the gaffer once again was obviously a key factor.

"Coming here is a fantastic opportunity for me and it is one that I am really relishing and I hope to take with both hands."
