Blackburn sign Everton defender Duffy

Blackburn Rovers have signed Everton defender Shane Duffy.

The Daily Mail reports Blackburn have signed Duffy for a fee of £1.5million.

The Republic of Ireland international struggled to breakthrough at Goodison Park under both Roberto Martinez and his predecessor David Moyes and has opted to drop down a division to link up with Championship Rovers.

Duffy spent last season on loan at Yeovil, making 39 appearances in Somerset. He also had loan stints at Burnley and Scunthorpe after moving to Everton in 2009.
