WES Brown has signed for Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters after his release from Rovers.
Brown spent one season at Ewood Park, making six appearances in all competitions, before being released in May.
He had been linked with a move to Crewe Alexandra earlier this summer, and also spent time training with National League outfit Macclesfield Town.
But the 37-year-old has been unveiled as the latest signing for Kerala Blasters, managed by Brown’s former coach Manchester United Rene Meulensteen.

Brown spent 19 years as a player at Old Trafford. He came through the ranks at the club and won five Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues.
The central defender could be the first of two high profile signings for the Blasters, who are also chasing the signing of Dimitar Berbatov.
The Blasters, co-owned by India cricket great Sachin Tendulkar, appointed former United coach Meulensteen in July.
I Cant wait to play in front of one of the best fans in the world. Kerala, See you soon! #indiansuperleague #newchallenge #excited
