BLACKBURN Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson has confirmed his intention to will leave Ewood Park in the summer after falling out of favour with Gary Bowyer.

Robinson had hoped to secure a move in the January transfer window after being replaced in the line-up by Jason Steele.

He has not ruled out the possibility of moving abroad in the summer.

"I was taken out of the team in September and haven't played since; I've been pretty much in limbo,” Robinson said, on Sky Sports programme Goals on Sunday.

"I was hoping something would happen in January, but of course that was such a quiet window. I'm not sure that any goalkeeper moved in the window in January.

"It's been pretty tough in the last five months, just training and trying to keep my focus.

"I was out for a while last season, but came back and played the last 20 games or so.

"I'm looking forward to a new challenge.

"I'm looking forward to something coming up in the summer and making a decision on my future.

"Would I go abroad? I don't see why not. I'll try anything.

"English goalkeepers tend not to go abroad, but I'm open to listening to every kind of offer.

"There are a few things at the moment, but I'm going to take my time and pick the right one. There's another couple of years left yet."
