Elrio van Heerden hopes to establish himself at new club Blackburn Rovers.

The South Africa midfielder told Football365.co.za: "For now my focus is on the club, so I have to go there and fight for a place at Blackburn and see what happens there.

"It's a big difference because the league in England is much stronger, it's more popular than in Belgium.

"Every week is a big game, every game you play and it is a big challenge to me and I am looking forward to it."
