Birmingham City midfielder Taylor Gardner-Hickman has reunited with his former boss Valerien Ismael after joining Blackburn Rovers.

The midfielder, who started his career under Ismael at West Brom, arrives at Ewood Park on a season-long loan.

The 23-year-old made 44 appearances for Blues last season, scoring three goals, as Chris Davies' side enjoyed a record-breaking title win in League One.

Blackburn, who have lost three of their opening four Championship games, next visit Watford on Saturday, 13 September.
