DAVIDSON UNVEILED AS A FOX
The Scottish international spent two years at Ewood Park, but the offer of Premiership football has persuaded him to join Leicester as new manager Peter Taylor's second signing of the week following Gary Rowett.
Taylor said: "I have seen Callum play a number of times. He is a good signing. He can play as a wing-back, or he can play as a left-back in a flat back four. He is a Scottish international full-back, and he holds a current place in the team.
"When we play this season in the Premiership I think we will want to change systems because it is a certainty that teams that play against us will be trying to do that. We have just got to make sure we are ready.
He admitted that Rovers manager Graeme Souness' signing of Stig Inge Bjornebye had prompted the player to realise that his future lay elsewhere.
"After Graeme signed another left-back in the close season, Callum probably thought that his chances of playing may not have been the same. With the manager giving him permission to talk to us, I think that made up Callum's mind."
The signing of the left-back will not be the end of Taylor's summer spending, with him being linked with Trevor Benjamin, Ade Akinbiyi and Darren Williams and adding: "I'd love to bring in two or three more players before the pre-season starts."
