Blackburn Rovers defender Andre Ooijer has confirmed he will be returning to PSV next season.

The 34-year-old will play his final match in the English Premier League against West Bromwich Albion at Ewood Park on Sunday.

Ooijer is bringing the curtain down on three seasons with Blackburn after arriving from the Eindhoven outfit in August 2006.

It has been a difficult decision as I have had three great years at this club. But it is time for me to go home.

"This is going to be my last match on Sunday as I am going back to PSV," he said. "I wanted to keep it a little bit quiet as we were in a relegation battle.

"It has been a difficult decision as I have had three great years at this club. But it is time for me to go home. I am just happy that Blackburn are safe.

"I am sure I have become a better person because it is a big experience to live abroad and play abroad."
