West Bromwich Albion have completed the signing of Birmingham City goalkeeper Ben Foster after agreeing an undisclosed fee.

The 29-year-old goalkeeper rejoins the club on a permanent deal after spending last season on loan with the Baggies.

New West Brom manager Steve Clarke was delighted to get his man and secure his first summer signing.

"Ben's been a priority signing all summer," Clarke told the club's website.

"His performances last season were exceptional and it was important for the club to strike a permanent deal for him.

"It's a great signing for me and an even better one for the club."

The keeper has penned a three-year contract that can also be extended by a further two years.

Foster was named Albion's Supporters' Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year after his impressive displays last season.
