Blackburn Rovers have secured Jayden Fevrier as their first signing of the summer, the club confirming a long-term contract for the 23-year-old winger following his move from Stockport County. Local reports place the transfer fee at approximately £500,000.
What the signing offers Rovers
Fevrier arrives with Championship experience and is expected to increase options on the right flank. Tony Mowbray, starting a new season with fresh personnel, adds a player described as quick and adept at dribbling — attributes that should suit a squad Mowbray has indicated will favour wide players in a 4-2-3-1 system during pre-season.
The club has not disclosed the length of the contract. Local coverage notes Fevrier had one year remaining on his Stockport deal when the move was negotiated, which may have influenced the reported fee.
Player background and recent form
Fevrier is a product of the West Ham United youth system and moved to Colchester United in 2022, where he made his debut later that year. He joined Stockport County in the summer of 2024 for a reported fee of around £200,000. During his time at Stockport and on loan, he accumulated senior appearances and contributed goals.
- Age: 23
- Position: Wide player / right wing
- Previous clubs: West Ham (youth), Colchester United, Stockport County, Charlton Athletic (loan)
Reports say Fevrier spent two years at Edgeley Park, making 61 appearances for Stockport County, and completed an 11-game loan spell at Charlton Athletic during which he scored twice.

Context and what to expect
The acquisition addresses an area of the squad where Ryoya Morishita has been the only natural right-sided player on Mowbray's books. Fevrier's arrival should offer competition for wide places alongside established signings and triallists already in pre-season. Observers will be watching how quickly he adapts to the pace and physicality of the Championship and whether Mowbray can refine his end product in the final third.
For supporters, the signing marks the start of the summer transfer business under the current head coach and sets a benchmark for the club's recruitment approach: pragmatic, with an eye for value from lower divisions and potential for development.
Further official details on the contract length and medical clearance are expected to follow from the club in due course.
