English Championship side Blackburn Rovers have confirmed the singing of James Brown from Drogheda United.

The 23 year old defender joins Rovers on a free transfer after impressing while on trial with the club.

Browne began his career with Shelbourne before moving to Louth to sign for Drogheda United ahead of the 2019 First Division season.

He made 84 appearances for Drogheda across three seasons and helped the club to win the First Division and promotion to the Premier Division in 2020.

The defender was also included on the PFAI Team of the Year for his performances during the 2021 Premier Division campaign.
