Striker's brother agrees three-year contract at Ewood Park
Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of Roque Santa Cruz's brother Julio.
The teenage striker has agreed a three-year contract at Ewood Park following two trial spells with the Premier League club.
Santa Cruz has most recently been with Cerro Porteno in Paraguay and is happy with his chance to play for Blackburn.
"I am very happy to be here at Blackburn, it will be an amazing adventure for me," the 18-year-old told the club's
official website.
Rovers are awaiting international clearance for Santa Cruz and he is expected to be part of the reserve-team squad this season.
The elder Santa Cruz had joined Rovers 12 months ago from Bayern Munich and enjoyed an impressive debut campaign in English football.
He has been linked with several other Premier League clubs, but has suggested he is happy to stay at Ewood Park.
