Blackburn Rovers bolstered their attacking options on Friday by signing their former striker Roque Santa Cruz on loan from Manchester City until the end of the Premier League football season.
The 29-year-old Paraguay international returned to Ewood Park after joining Premier League rivals City in a 17.5 million pound ($NZ 36.2 million) deal in 2009.
Santa Cruz scored 29 goals in two seasons at Blackburn, who were taken over by Indian poultry business Venky's last November, but struggled to establish himself at high-flying Manchester City.
