Blackburn Rovers have recently completed the signing of defender Daniel Ayala on a three-year deal. 

Ayala was previously a free-agent after he opted not to renew his contract with Championship side Middlesbrough after the 2019/20 campaign.

The Spaniard made 216 appearances in total for Boro, but felt that it was the right time to move on, with the defender wasting no time in returning to the Championship.

Blackburn are currently sat 13th in the second-tier standings after one league match, where they were narrowly beaten 3-2 by AFC Bournemouth.

Ayala will be hoping that he can make a positive impact on the Lancashire-based team, as they look to mount a serious challenge for a top-six finish this term.

Tony Mowbray's side finished 11th in the Championship table last season, and will fancy their chances of forcing themselves into the play-off places this season.

Plenty of Blackburn Rovers supporters took to social media to issue their thoughts on Ayala's arrival at Ewood Park.
