Leicester City’s relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers have signed former England international Nathan Redmond on a free transfer to help boost their survival bid.

Blackburn, who sit three places and four points above City, have brought in the 32-year-old winger on a short-term deal after he left Sheffield Wednesday in January.

Michael O’Neill’s side were then granted permission by the EFL to include Redmond in their 25-man Championship squad following long-term injuries suffered by Sondre Tronstad and Lewis Miller.

Redmond, capped once by England during his successful spell at Southampton, left Burnley in the summer and then popped up at Hillsborough in November, playing seven games for the Owls on a short-term contract.
