'No-brainer' for new Rover Etuhu

New Blackburn signing Dickson Etuhu has expressed his delight at joining the Lancashire club.

The Nigerian midfielder signed a four-year deal at Ewood Park last week and looks set to form an experienced backbone to Steve Kean's midfield alongside fellow former Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy.

Etuhu described his decision to move to the npower Championship as a "no-brainer".

He told the East Anglian Daily Times: "This is exciting to me, coming to a big club like this in the Championship, there are some quality players so I thought it would be good to be part of that.

"I spoke to the manager, he told me his plans of how he wants to play and the direction he wants to take the club.

"Once I heard of the ambition that the club has it was a no-brainer for me."
