And in the struggle for attacker Dwight York, the "Blues" emerged victorious. The player rejected a proposal from "Celtic" and will now play in Birmingham.
York no longer made it into the main lineup of Blackburn Rovers - coach Graeme Souness usually puts forwards Paul Dickov and Jon Stead on the field.
This allowed Birmingham boss Steve Bruce to acquire the 32-year-old player. The size of the deal is not disclosed. York and Birmingham agreed on a one-year contract with the option to extend it for another 12 months.
Dwight York, of Trinidad and Tobago origin, said he was delighted to have the opportunity to continue his career with a progressing club like Birmingham. "I am impressed by Steve Bruce's achievements at this club, I believe that the team can play at the top of the league table and I hope to be part of that," said the player.
