New Bolton Wanderers signing Paul Robinson says it was difficult to leave West Brom.

"It was a difficult decision to leave West Brom because the club had been such a big part of my life," he admitted. "But the Premier League is where I want to be playing until my legs pack up and tell me to call it a day.

"Last year I was supported by quality players and some of the football West Brom played at times was magnificent. But sometimes it is about getting results and I feel I have joined a club that can dig them out, and that means they won't struggle.

"I was involved with some great people at West Brom but some were happy with going up and down between the Premier League and the Championship, and I was not."
