New West Bromwich Albion signing Jonny Evans has said that he is looking forward to the challenge of playing for the club.

The 27-year-old completed his move to the Baggies earlier this evening to end his 18-year association with Manchester United.

"I hope to push the Albion up the league," Evans told the club's official website. "It's a new, fresh challenge for me. One I'm looking forward to.

"I know a few of the lads already and I spoke to a couple, who highly recommended the club."

Evans helped United to win three Premier League titles during his time at Old Trafford.
