Manchester City reserves coach Kenny Jackett says a loan move to West Brom has come at the right time for Ishmael Miller.
Miller penned a new three-year contract yesterday before joining the Baggies and Jackett told the club's website: "He's ready to go out into the football league, at 20 now.
"He's been around the edge of the City side for a number of years. We think he's ready to go out there and play, we wish him all the best.
"He's full of ability, he wants the chance to be a first team regular and we'll be watching his progress with interest."
