Rovers net a twin!

Tuesday, 31/01/2012

Blackburn Rovers have signed forward Marcus Olsson – who joins twin brother Martin (pictured) at Ewood Park.

Olsson, 23, arrives on a free from Swedish side Halmstads and has agreed a two-and-a-half year contract.

He recently earned his first two caps for Sweden.

Ironically, both Olssons were given trails by Blackburn almost seven years ago but Marcus was not signed.

Martin Olsson, who has been with Rovers since he was 17, played with his brother for Hogaborgs and most recently for Sweden.

Rovers are also hoping to sign QPR full back Bradley Orr, the former Newcastle and Bristol City player.
