Rowan Vine
Rowan Vine has today left Blues to join Championship side Queens Park Rangers on a four-and-a-half year deal.

The fee for the 25-year-old is £1m.

Vine finished a successful loan spell with the R's on January 1.

During his two month stint with Luigi De Canio's side he made 18 appearances and scored three goals.

Vine's career with Blues began in January 2007 when he was signed from Luton Town for an undisclosed fee by former Blues boss Steve Bruce.

However he found his chances limited at St. Andrew's and made just 19 appearances over the past year, scoring one goal.

But that goal was crucial as it came in a 1-0 win against fellow promotion contenders Derby County at St. Andrew's last March.

At the end of the 2006/07 season Derby finished just two points behind Blues in a 3rd place play-off spot.
