BLACKBURN Rovers have completed the signing of Sheffield United forward Jordan Slew after the deal was ratified by the FA.

Rovers swooped for the 18-year-old last night, with the deal going right to the 11pm deadline.

Blackburn then had to wait for the FA to confirm that the transfer had been in completed in time, with the governing body working through a huge backlog of transfers across the country today.

But the FA have now confirmed that Slew's signing has gone through, with the youngster signing a four-year deal at Ewood Park.
