FORGOTTEN man Bruno Ribeiro has left Blackburn Rovers.

The Brazilian right-back has signed for Clube Atletico Linense on a free transfer - the club he spent the second half of last season on loan at.

Ribeiro made just five appearances for Rovers - his last being in September 2012 - after he was signed by then manager Steve Kean in July 2011.

Yesterday Rovers announced that another Kean signing, striker Jordan Slew, would spend the rest of the campaign on loan at Scottish Premiership outfit Ross County.

Youngsters Jack O'Connell, Anton Forrester and Anthony O'Connor have had their loans at Rochdale, Bury and Torquay United respectively extended until the end of the season.
