Blackburn have signed defender Matthew Kilgallon, 29, on a free from Sunderland.

Kilgallon, who has agreed a two-year contract, made just 21 Premier League starts for Sunderland after joining from Sheffield United in January 2010.

On the signing of Kilgallon, Bowyer told the club website:  "He's left-sided and has the ability to play in a couple of positions for us, both at centre-back and at left-back.
"He will bring a lot of experience from playing in the Premier League and in the Championship."
