Blackburn sign veteran defender Michel Salgado

11 April 2012

Spanish full-back Michel Salgado has today joined Blackburn on a two-year deal.

Capped 53 times, Salgado had his Real Madrid contract cancelled by mutual consent earlier this month.

During his time at the Bernabeu, the 33-year-old helped the club to two European Cup triumphs and four league titles.
