Blackburn Rovers have re-signed former striker Roque Santa Cruz from Man City. Santa Cruz who scored 29 goals in 70 appearances for Blackburn has signed on loan until the end of the season.
Man City paid Blackburn £17.5million for Santa Cruz’s services but the Paraguayan was unable to establish himself as a regular in the city side due to injuries and competition for places.
Several Premier League club’s were believed to be interested in Santa Cruz, but his old club Blackburn was his prefered choice. Santa Cruz becomes Steve Kean’s first signing as Blackburn Rovers manager.
