Birmingham-born Sturridge said: “I’ve got friends here I’ve played with before. The manager spoke very well, the challenge with the team and the style of play – I just felt this was the right fit for me.”

He will be eligible to play for West Brom in their FA Cup fifth-round tie at home to Southampton.

Earlier on Monday, the Baggies signed Egypt defender Ali Gabr on loan from Zamalek until the end of the season.
