James McClean bags West Brom move

Ireland international James McClean is back in the Premier League after completing a move to West Brom last night.

The 26-year-old Derry man has joined from Sky Bet League One side Wigan for an undisclosed fee and is tied to the Baggies for three years, with the club retaining an option to extend the deal for a further 12 months.

He becomes Baggies boss Tony Pulis’s first signing of the summer. “I’m delighted,” said McClean last night. “I’ve played in the Premier League before and not only am I back here, but I’m with a stable top-flight club and one that wants to push on.
