Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of former Newcastle United striker Leon Best for around £3 million.

The 25-year-old has agreed a four-year deal to make the move to Ewood Park, as Blackburn attempt to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. He is the club's second signing of the summer, after Danny Murphy completed his free transfer last week.

Best made 46 appearances for Newcastle in his two seasons at the club, scoring 10 goals. He missed the last three months of last season due to a ligament injury.
