Republic of Ireland international Jeff Kenna is ready to quit Blackburn Rovers.

Kenna, 30, has put in a transfer request after becoming disillusioned at the lack of first team opportunities under Graeme Souness and the First Division club are willing to listen to offers.

Kenna is the longest serving player in the current squad but the signings of John Curtis and Stig Inge Bjornebye have restricted his appearances and he has decided his future lies away from Ewood Park.- PA
