Andrew Moran: Brighton midfielder joins Blackburn Rovers on loan

Andrew Moran made his Premier League debut as a late substitute in Brighton's 4-1 win at Everton in January

Championship club Blackburn Rovers have signed Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Andrew Moran on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old has made three senior appearances since joining the Seagulls from Bray Wanderers in 2020.

A Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, Moran becomes Blackburn's fifth signing of the summer transfer window.

He is eligible to make his Rovers debut at Watford on Sunday (12:00 BST).

"He is a player that we have worked hard on all summer to attract to the club," Blackburn director of football Gregg Broughton told the club website.

"Andy is one of the many talented young Irish players to have been recruited by Brighton and he will bring a great attacking threat to our squad.

"He is capable of playing centrally and in wide areas, he is very comfortable in possession and he is aggressive without the ball.
