“They’ve made some good signings and I feel this is a good move for me.”
Albion Chairman John Williams says: “I’m delighted to welcome Kieran to the Club. We have recruited another quality addition, an England player with bags of experience at Premier League and Champions League level. We are confident he will do well for us.”
Albion’s summer transfer window business has now seen Gibbs, Oliver Burke, Gareth Barry, Ahmed Hegazi and Jay Rodriguez join their squad for this season’s Premier League challenge.
The Baggies have also signed China international striker Yuning Zhang who has started a two-year loan to Werder Bremen.
