The Nigerian has agreed a four-year deal with the npower Championship club, joining former Fulham team-mate Danny Murphy at Ewood Park.

"Dickson is a player I have admired for a long time and he will be a fantastic addition to the squad," Kean told the club's official website, http://www.rovers.co.uk.

"He is a powerhouse in midfield who has played at the highest level with Fulham and we feel confident he will complement our other midfield options."
