Brentford have agreed a deadline day deal to sign Blackburn Rovers youngster Jack O’Connell.

The 20-year-old is a strong left-footed centre-back who came through the ranks at Ewood Park.

He gained experience of first-team football in League Two at Rotherham United and York City before making 45 appearances in helping Rochdale win promotion to League One.

Born in Liverpool, O’Connell has been capped by England at U18 and U19 level and signed a two-year deal at Blackburn last summer.
