Benjani Mwaruwari is delighted with his move to Blackburn Rovers.
Free agent Benjani was invited to train with Rovers by manager Sam Allardyce and after proving his ability over a fortnight at Brockhall he had no hesitation in signing the deal.
But after being without a club all summer, he is a few weeks behind the rest of the squad in terms of fitness, but Benjani hopes to catch up soon.
He told the Rovers website: "There was some question about my fitness so I came here to prove that I didn't have any problems and now I have signed.
"Blackburn is a good team, now I am here, I am happy here, I hope to score goals here.
"I'm still working on my fitness right now so hopefully when I am fit I will fight for a place in the team. The lads are performing so it won't be easy, I won't be able to just walk into the team, I need to work hard and I'm still working hard.
"My fitness is not yet up to the level of the Premier League at the moment so I'm working very hard with the fitness trainers at the moment, if I can get some practice matches in I should be fit in one month."
