Midfielder Aaron Mokoena has revealed that he will sign for fellow Premier League side Portsmouth when his contract ends with Rovers at the end of June.

The 28-year-old has enjoyed a four year spell with the Ewood Park club after signing under former boss Mark Hughes back in January 2005, but after today's final match of the season against West Bromwich Albion, the South African captain revealed that he had agreed a three year deal with the south coast club.

"I can leave in peace knowing that I've been honest to the team, I've been loyal and the team has been loyal to me," Mokoena told Radio Rovers.

"I am going to Portsmouth, I am going there to play, it is what every player wants to do.

"I have decided it is time to move on for me. As we know we have a World Cup in South Africa and I have to play, I have to play week in, week out.

"So it is going to be a good challenge for me going down to Portsmouth and we'll see how it goes.

"The good thing for me is that I have three years with Pompey and I'll be going there to do my job, as I did my job in Blackburn.

"The fans have been fantastic for me in Blackburn and I'll never forget it."

Mokoena made 139 appearances during his four seasons with the club, scoring two goals including the one against Sunderland in the FA Cup which won the goal of the season award this year.
