New Blackburn boss Paul Ince has made Paul Robinson his first signing.

Ince paid Tottenham £3.5million for the keeper after long-serving Rovers goalie Brad Friedel set up a £2million move to Aston Villa.

The 28-year-old will be hoping for a fresh start at Ewood Park after a remarkable fall from grace at White Hart Lane

Blackburn gave permission for the Midlands club to speak to the American and Ince wasted no time in securing an experienced replacement by agreeing a five-year deal with Robinson.

The 28-year-old will be hoping for a fresh start at Ewood Park after a remarkable fall from grace at White Hart Lane.

He was dropped as England's number one, and found his Spurs first-team spot threatened by Radek Cerny and summer signing Heurelho Gomes.
