Blackburn Rovers seal Simon Eastwood deal

Blackburn Rovers sign Portsmouth goalkeeper Simon Eastwood on a free transfer, according to a report.

Portsmouth goalkeeper Simon Eastwood has reportedly agreed to sign for Blackburn Rovers after turning down a new contract at Fratton Park.

According to Sky Sports News, the 23-year-old will become the third new arrival at Ewood Park next season after Chris Taylor and Alan Judge signed on from Millwall and Notts County respectively.

Eastwood has been a bright light during Pompey's League One campaign, which ended in relegation.

He has previously worked with Rovers goalkeeping coach John Keeley, who was part of the backroom staff on the South Coast until reuniting with Michael Appleton in January.

The England Under-19 international is expected to deputise for Paul Robinson, who will miss the start of next season after suffering a pulmonary embolism.
