TODD Cantwell has vowed to let his football do the talking after completing a deadline day move from Rangers to Blackburn Rovers.

ROVERS IS PERFECT FIT FOR CANTWELL

The 26-year-old scored 14 goals in 64 games during an 18-month stint at Ibrox but was unpopular with the club's supporters, who dubbed him 'TikTok Todd' due to his prolific use of social media.

One infamous incident saw the former Norwich midfielder post the words 'shushburger please' alongside a picture of him celebrating a goal in response to fans' criticism of his performances.

A fall-out with Gers manager Philippe Clement prompted Cantwell to submit a transfer request and he has now taken a significant pay-cut to join John Eustace's Blackburn side in a cut-price six-figure deal.
