Blackburn Rovers have loaned full-back James Brown to League Two side Stockport County for the season.

The 24-year-old defender joined Rovers in January after a successful trial, and spent time in the under-23s.

He made his full debut at Birmingham on the final day of the Championship campaign last season, after three years at Irish club Drogheda.

"He's played a lot of senior football over in Ireland and earned his move to Blackburn,"

"He's a forward thinking defender who can play in a variety of positions down that right hand side."
