Blackburn Rovers: Bruno Ribeiro returning to Brazil

Blackburn Rovers have confirmed that defender Bruno Ribeiro has left the club to join Clube Atletico Linense in his native Brazil on a free transfer.

The 30-year-old full-back returns to the side he played for in the second half of the 2012-13 campaign.

All five of his first-team appearances for Blackburn came under the management of former boss Steve Kean, his last outing coming in September 2012.

Striker Jordan Slew has also left Ewood Park, joining Ross County on loan.

The 21-year-old, who made his debut in the SPL victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Wednesday, will remain in Scotland for the remainder of the season.
