DONE DEAL: Ward leaves Bournemouth to join Blackburn

Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of Bournemouth centre-back Elliot Ward.

Ward has signed a two-year deal with the Championship club where he will be reunited with former Norwich City boss Paul Lambert after leaving the Cherries.

"It has been a busy few days to try and get it done, but I'm really pleased and I can't wait to get started training and crack on," Ward told Blackburn's official website.

"I'm looking forward to putting on the shirt and hopefully being involved.

"Paul Lambert demands standards and he definitely brought mine up a few notches at Norwich and that's something I want to get back to on a regular basis."
