Middlesbrough have signed full-back, Callum Brittain from Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.
Brittain’s move has brought his three-year spell at Ewood Park to a close where he made 113 appearances for Blackburn in all competitions.
Following confirmation of his transfer, the 27-year-old spoke of his pride at joining the Teesside-based club and experiencing a new environment in his career,
“I’m absolutely delighted to be a Boro player.
“It was the right time for me to make the next step in my career, and I’m excited to be here.
Brittain has signed a four-year contract until June 2029 and added that he had spoken to Boro’s new manager, Rob Edwards about the club’s direction as they target a promotion challenge this season.
“I had a really good chat with the gaffer about how he wants to play and his ambition while he’s here, and it’s clearly an environment where everyone is pulling in the same direction.
“I can’t wait to get going.”
Rovers issued a farewell statement thanking the right-back for his services at Ewood Park.
“Rovers would like to thank Callum for all his efforts in blue-and-white halves over the past three years and wish him well in his future career.”
