Fortune set for Blackburn move Fortune may head to Sunderland Parreira's blast from the past

Blackburn - A source has confirmed that Quinton Fortune has teamed-up with former Bafana Bafana colleagues Benni McCarthy and Aaron Mokoena and signed for English Premiership club Blackburn Rovers.

After an unsuccessful trial at Sunderland, Fortune travelled with the Blackburn Rovers squad to the United States on a mid-season break and did enough for Blackburn manager Mark Hughes to offer him a short-term contract until the end of the season.

Fortune has struggled with injury since leaving Bolton Wanderers whom he joined after becoming surplus to requirements at Manchester United.

With Blackburn pushing to qualify for a place in Europe this could be just the chance that Fortune has been waiting for.

His pedigree is well known but will he be able to resurrect his career after such a long lay-off?
