Blackburn sign Batth and Weimann on one-year deals

Danny Batth made 18 appearances for Norwich City last season

Blackburn Rovers have signed former Wolves, Stoke City and Sunderland defender Danny Batth and former Bristol City striker Andi Weimann, both on one-year deals.

Batth, 33, began his career with Wolves, helping them win the League One title with a record points total in 2014 and later captained the club to the Championship title four years later.

After leaving Wanderers, he went on to have spells with Stoke City, Sunderland and Norwich City, the latter of which he helped to the Championship play-offs last term.

Weimann joins having played for West Bromwich Albion on loan last term and off the back of being part of Austria's squad at Euro 2024.

The pair are the latest arrivals at Ewood Park after Makhtar Gueye, Yuki Ohashi, Exauce Mafoumbi and Kyle McFadzean joined in the space of 24 hours.

Blackburn will begin the 2024-25 campaign at home to newly-promoted Derby County on 9 August.
