Rovers and Fowler strike a deal

Last updated : 11 September 2008 By Andy

The 33 year old left Cardiff City in the summer after turning down a new contract with the Championship outfit.

Since then he has been training with Rovers after being brought in by manager and his good friend Paul Ince.

"We have agreed in principle a three-month pay-as-you-play deal and we hope to have it tied up by the end of the week," Blackburn chairman John Williams said.

"If we go ahead on that basis and get it registered, then if the manager wants him he would be able to be in the squad against Arsenal on Saturday.''
