I wanted to move on and further my career and I think it is a good step for me to be here.’

The defender, who can play at right back or in central defence has won 20 International caps with the Netherlands also said:

When I club like Blackburn comes in for you, it was a simple choice for me, I heard a lot from other players that Blackburn was a warm club, it sounded like my former club PSV.’

I spoke to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and he was very positive and I’m really looking forward to begin.’

Ooijer should be available for the visit to Ewood Park of the Champions Chelsea on Sunday.
